According to the National Center for Catastrophic Sports Injury Research (NCCSIR) at the University of North Carolina, there are about 1.1 million high school football players in the nation. That is approximately 11 times more football players than the NFL, college, junior college, arena football and semi-professional level combined. And yet, high school players are three times more likely to suffer catastrophic injuries, particularly head injuries than their professional counterparts. Some may attribute it to skill level – the players making the damaging plays may not have been taught proper technique. Others may attribute it to the nature of football itself. Whatever the cause, the life-changing nature of brain injuries raises serious concerns.
After the brain is injured, the first few minutes are critical to recovery. Oftentimes, a severe injury to the brain is difficult to detect by those who are untrained – dizziness, lightheadedness, vision problems – could easily by explained away as dehydration or exhaustion. These crucial mistakes could drastically influence the care of someone with a brain injury and ultimately lead to severe, permanent, and life-altering consequences.
