Coaching football for over 20 years and playing the question of whether a kid should play or not had never cross my mind until now. Football is a physical game and injuries are a part of the game, but concussions are everyone's main concern . As a player I didn't think nothing of being woozy you would just shake it off because that's what tough players do.
As a coach I brought that same attitude when dealing with players until I knew better.
Thanks to the many football governing organizations the game has step up implementing rules for player safety. Once a player has been found to be concussed the decision of his playing status is the hands of the health professionals . Training also is required by the coaches in this area ,also the equipment has been improving every year. As a parent you must do your own research and make you on decision but make sure you get the facts.
