My 11 yr old walked off the field for the first time in 6 yrs of sports last Saturday because of a headache. Turned out he got a concussion and can't remember 5 plays. Luckily, other than the short term memory loss and bad headache for several hours he is OK.
It's amazing how many kids here have had a concussion after talking to some other parents. I would guess that close to half the high school football team has had at least one, and many have had more. It makes me wonder if the helmets really are safer than they were years ago. The one my son wears is only a few years old and re-certified every other year.
I always knew that some day he would get hurt as active as he is, just didn't plan on this. Guess it scares me a little.
