CountyKid,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. You have come to a great place to ask your question.

The first question I have for you is simple. How have your coaches and trainers responded to your concussions?

What kind of concussion program does your school have?
Does your team have any rules to reduce concussions during practice?
Does your league have any rules to reduce concussions during games?
What have your parents said about your concussion history?
Are they concerned about you continuing to play or not play?

What do you hope to do to make a living?
How are your grades now?
Were your grades better in the past?
What symptoms are you still having?
What symptoms have you had in the past?

I could tell you that my opinion is you should not play any more collision sports but you would likely not listen. If you are like most young athletes, you want to know how to continue playing but reduce your risk.

Nobody can predict what your next concussion will do to your brain. There are likely scenarios but that is it.

I know what multiple concussions have done to my life and only one of my concussions was serious. I hope I can help you learn enough to make your own decision in a responsible way.

My best to you.
