ProActive: Concussions and Fall Sports

Refer A Friend Who Do You Know That Needs Our Help?

“With the help of the staff at ProActive, I was able to make full recoveries...” Over the course of my high school football career, I experienced two season-ending concussions. The first occurred in a game during my junior season. I was hit from the side by an opponent, and everything went black. Before I knew it, staff from ProActive was there to evaluate me. They went through the typical questions you might ask someone who is concussed, such as, “How many fingers am I holding up?” They determined it was not suitable for me to continue playing, and my season ended there. My second concussion came in a game during my senior season. I was again hit by an opponent from the side, but this time, it felt different. I was laying on the ground and thinking that hurt more than usual. Once I stood up, everything around me was moving, and I felt disoriented. Steve from ProActive came out on the field to evaluate me once again. We went through the same procedure, and my season was ended there for the second time. Some of the main symptoms I dealt with following my concussions were headaches, an inability to focus my vision on specific people or objects, and sensitivity toward light. I received instruction from ProActive on how to alleviate the symptoms as well as recover as safely as possible. When it came to resuming activity, one of the therapists would perform physical and cognitive tests to determine if it was safe for me to return to activity at that time. With the help of the staff at ProActive, I was able to make full recoveries, and I currently experience no lasting effects.” - Braden Jahn
