[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like a lot of people on this thread don't have a 15 year old. For a 15 year old who has committed to playing a sport like lacrosse, it is probably his/her whole world. I would get a second, more detailed opinion that just "no more sports". If it is verified by a second doctor, I would enforce quitting high contact sports, but I'd also be ready for a depressed kid who might act out.[/quote] It’s very hard, but I know talented kids who have had to quit their sport because of concussions. It’s a thing, and very tough to go through, but the risks are real and serious and preserving function in adulthood is important There are sports that are lower risk the kid should explore.[/quote]
