[quote=Anonymous]We’re dealing with a bad concussion right now, and it’s no fun. It sucks to see your kid hurt, and is especially scary when it’s their brain. Obviously, all the attention paid to CTE and American Football has everyone on edge. That said, I did a lot of reading, and learned that for normal athletes (not boxers, NFL players, MMA fighters, etc), even after numerous concussions, they still have better long-term cognitive outcomes than non-athletes. Basically, the negative impacts of concussions are outweighed by the overall health benefits of being physically active (cardiovascular health, etc). I think I worry about bad knee or ankle injuries even more. As mentioned upthread, ACL tears are really tough. I’m hoping we can avoid that, although I know the treatment has gotten much better.
