Keep Your Brain in the Game
If you’ve opened the sports section of any Canadian newspaper over the past year, it comes as no surprise that news about brain injuries in sport are becoming as common as hearing a song by Justin Bieber on the radio. Every week it seems as though another athlete is put on the injured list due to concussion.
Brain injuries, including concussion, are serious and should be taken seriously. They can have devastating and long-term consequences. Look at NHL star Sidney Crosby. At the height of his career, a series of hits led to a concussion that forced him off the ice for 11 months. Almost immediately after his much anticipated return to play, he endured another hit that has once again taken him out of the game for an undetermined amount of time. Some people have begun to wonder if this concussion will be a career-ender, if so; it would be an injustice to him, his fans and the sport.
This is not a problem that only affects professional athletes. Children and youth involved in sport are more likely to suffer head injuries than any other group. More than 40 per cent of head injuries in children and youth aged 10-19 years treated in emergency departments are sustained during recreation and sport activities.”(Public Health Agency of Canada )
