Defending Against Hard Knocks


According to Brain Injury Association of America, an estimated 1.6 to 3.8 million sports- and recreation-related concussions occur in the U.S. each year. Among children and youth age 5 to 18, the five leading sports or recreational activities that account for concussions include football, bicycling, basketball, playground activities and soccer. To help prevent these injuries, i9 Sports has launched the Stop Youth Concussions Crusade, which promotes no tackling, no heading and “when in doubt, sit out” policies.
