Strength Of Concussions

The strength of my presentation is that it answers two main questions about the subject matter, what it is and who is at risk for this type of injury. It explains what a concussion or TBI exactly does to the brain. The presentation then turns its focus to those at risk, athletes of course, but also others including war veterans affected during combat situations. Another strength is how the visuals are put to use. It combines the pictures and information shown on the graphs to help correlate with the main speaking points for each particular slide.
Although there are several strengths in this presentation I do see a few weaknesses. One of these is the limited number of examples that were used when looking at safety and standards for equipment. Although I did identify a new piece of safety gear that can be attached to the helmet, the presentation did not go far enough into how standards for equipment will be implemented. Also, I should have put in a slide looking into the death rates for youth football players due to concussions I believe that this addition would also have made a greater impact on the viewer. …show more content…
