Concussions in Football One of my good friends in high school played on the varsity football team. He was no star, and savored every bit of playing time that he received. Unfortunately, he suffered a hit to the head on a play and symptoms popular of concussions crept up. He debated whether he should tell his coaches and know he likely wouldn’t play again for a significant amount of time, or to keep playing and show his teammates he could make a difference.…

It was a brisk fall evening with the sun just about to set behind a hill. I was 10 years old, playing in my third season of football, and my first ever game under the bright lights surrounding the high school stadium. The time had finally come, the lights had been on and warming up for several minutes, I was going to play a game under the lights on the high school field. My experiences that night were not forgotten, but today I couldn’t even tell you if we won the game that night. The lessons I learned that night weren’t about winning and losing, I had done plenty of that already in my life.…
