Concussion : The risk of head injury in football is real. Your helmet does not protect you from brain damage that can be permanent. It's hard to understand the gravity and reality of our brain injury when we are young. Learn to tackle correctly and don't lead with your head and you can minimize the risks. Be educated. Tbi and CTE start at head injury #1. See NFL head health challenge. Good luck.
