Default How come some people can sustain so many hits to the head?
I got PCS from Thai boxing (muay thai) sparring. I don't understand how someone like my coach, who started fighting when he was 7-8 years old in THailand, does not have PCS after nearly 250 fights where the blows are much much harder than the sparring blows I sustained.

Or someone like Sidney Crosby who had serious PCS from seemingly innocuous hits but Jaromir Jagr can take a head hit from Ovechkin in the Olympics and not get PCS.

Why such different in response?
