In spite of this, “Brandon Steburg Sr. is the father of Brandon Jr., who was injured on a tackle for Papillion-La Vista High School in Nebraska in September. Brandon Jr. was placed in a medically induced coma to reduce pressure on his brain” (Axon, Barnett, Brady & Smith, 2016). Although some may say that it is very important to play a sport while growing up, at some point you have to ask yourself if it’s worth it for the risk of such a dangerous injury. Of course sports can be a great way to have your kids make friends, and get them in shape. But the risk of concussions and injuries may outway the pros of letting your kids play. Without a doubt, concussions are always a risk when you play a sport. If the equipment can be updated regularly, it could be a way to prevent the number of concussions
