The most dangerous myth in youth sports? 🧠
That a hit to the head is fine—as long as they don’t black out.
We’ve all heard it before:
“If you didn’t lose consciousness, you’re probably okay.”
That’s not true.
A concussion can occur after a hit to the head or body—even without a loss of consciousness.
Symptoms may be subtle or delayed:
🔷 Headache
🔷 Dizziness
🔷 Confusion
🔷 Sensitivity to light or noise
Don’t ignore the signs.
If there’s concern for a concussion or head injury, seek medical evaluation. While concussion is primarily a clinical diagnosis, imaging may be recommended in certain situations to evaluate for more serious injury.
Know the signs.
Take it seriously. Protect your brain.
