Concussions are common in sports, especially football. This week, Texas Tech Coach Mike Leach was fired over allegations that he mistreated a player who was sitting out of practice due to a concussion.
A concussion occurs when an individual receives a blow to the head which causes an alteration in brain function. A change in mental status and consciousness will occur. Often times a concussion is referred to as “minor” when it involves a short loss of consciousness; however, such head injuries can have serious consequences.
It is important to be aware of the symptoms associated with concussions and what you can do to protect yourself. There is a real and significant danger if you return to normal activities too soon after sustaining a concussion. Unfortunately, some symptoms may not become evident until weeks later, which is why it is important to take precautions such as avoiding a second impact which can cause significant swelling leading to a disability or even death.
