[quote=Anonymous]The concussion is caused by the brain hitting the inside of the skull, not directly by the hit to the skull from the outside. Boy's necks tend to develop stronger and the stronger neck does a better job of cushioning the blow when the brain bounces into the skull thus making them a little more resistant to concussions than girls. That's the physiological difference. There is also a difference in the way the girls game is played in this country. Many coaches encourage young girls to prove they are as tough as the boys by playing far more recklessly and aggressively than the boys so the girls game is often more physical with more heads getting knocked around.
