[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter plays competitive soccer on a travel team. Zero concussions have resulted from soccer. Number of concussions that have resulted in other non-sports related ways: 2. First concussion she gave herself by slamming her forehead into the car door as she was opening the door on a rainy morning. Second concussion happened when she slipped coming down the stairs at school and hit the back of her head. I know they can't even learn to use their heads until they're out of the u12 league. Even then, most concussions happen from collisions between players, not heading the ball. And to be devil's advocate, my son gave himself a concussion the first year he joined the swimteam while learning to do the required flips. [/quote] The lastest research is now showing it is not concussions but "repeated hits" that is the concern so focusing only on concussions is missing the forest for the trees. [/quote]
