A sizable percentage of concussions in the NFL are caused by T-bone hits or hits between the eyes, and these hits offset the brain’s center of gravity (Giles, 2016). Concussions can also cause permanent long term damage to the wiring of the brain. In older athletes, blows to the head can cause more harm because adults have one-eighth to a quarter-inch of space between the brain itself and the skull. This allows for more room for the brain to repeatedly hit the skull, whereas in a teenage athlete, the brain is flush with the skull, and doesn’t give the brain any room to move (Giles, 2016). While any hit to the brain is devastating, it seems as though adults are more at risk of permanent neurological damage.…
