The Story behind my topic

 The story behind my topic all started because I am a athlete. All through school have played sports. It all started when I played little leuage football with older kids. While playing football I tried to push myself to be the best, as all kids try to do. I recived a brutal hit from the biggest and strongest boy on my team.The helment that I was issued was cracked so it wasnt ready to stand against hard hit. Many adults don't belive that young children are much of a threat to each other in contact sports, so  they dont pay attention to the small things until somthing happens. Students are suffering from fatalitys such as concussions at younger and younger ages. Athletes that suffer from these injuries are effected mentally and phisically, injuries like these are life changing. Major sports injuries have increased in the passed few years due to old eqipment and devistating hits during sporting events. Devistationg hits to the head from another player can cause you to receive a concussion. Some people could have a serious injury and not even know about it.Thats why it is important to get a concusions test before the seasons start. I think that many people don't realize how important it is to get concusion test ,they are helpful to insure your ready to play in the sporting events. Someone I know got a devistating sports injury and after that he was never the same. I think that coaches should take the time to check equipment thuroly... until its to late.
