A member asked:
Are there any alarming trends regarding concussions suffered in high school football?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Actually, there appears to be more beneficial trends including heightened awareness of head injuries, added time out of play, better and more careful officiating, and protocols to evaluate players on the sidelines. The "alarming trends" would be ignoring knowledge of the outcomes of repetitive head injuries eventuating in Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy if not managed properly.
