Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is as serious as it sounds, but what causes it can be as simple as a single blow to the head. This is because the brain is a soft organ surrounded by hard bone; any hard jolt or strike can cause the brain to collide against the insides of the skull resulting in damage to the brain. Most people don’t usually get hit hard enough in their daily lives, except in accidents; however, there is an activity that many willingly participate in that could cause brain injuries—sports, specifically football. Football players may seem safe with layers of protective gear on, but the brain is a sensitive organ, and considering how rough most football plays are, the risks of suffering from a traumatic brain injury are increased. The most common type of TBI for athletes is a concussion.
