Have You Had a Sports Concussion?

Friday October 30, 2009
Sports concussions are traumatic head injuries that can occur from both mild and severe blows to the head. Some head injuries may appear to be mild but research is finding that even a minor blow to the head can result in serious, long-term complications, especially if an athlete suffers repeated head injuries or cumulative concussions.

Share your story: What caused your concussion? What were your symptoms? Have you recovered fully? Could you have done anything to prevent your head injury? Share your sports concussion story so other athletes can learn from your experience.
