“I jumped up to head the ball the same way I do in practice. But this time I felt dizzy after and my headache wouldn’t go away.” Have you ever been in a similar situation with an athlete and did not know what to do? Some of the most common symptoms associated with concussion injuries are headaches, dizziness and difficulty concentrating. Symptoms that athletes also often report are light or noise sensitivity, confusion, drowsiness, behavioral changes, and nausea. But because every concussion is unique, not all of these symptoms need to be present to indicate it is a concussion. In severe cases, the athlete might lose consciousness, but again, this is not a necessary symptom to definitively identify a concussion. Most concussions occur after: • Player to player contact • Player to playing surface contact • Player to equipment contact Abrupt head jarring or head movement, like when a car crash occurs, can also cause a concussion.
