Are there any ways concussion can be prevented while playing football? if so, what are some of the measures that can be taken to ensure that player safety is priority?

Standard tackle football is a contact sport and helmets are used to prevent severe injury but head injuries occur nonetheless. So if you wish safety, play touch or flag football
