A
high school lacrosse player is ok'd to return to play 3 days after sustaining a concussion, and just 10 minutes before the game. After playing, he says:
"I didn't feel it during the game but now I'm starting to feel it..."
The player said he wasn't concerned about the concussion during the game.
"You can't put that stuff into your head before a game, I was just zoning it out and just played."
Perfect... just ignore the symptoms and focus on the game. Great example for the need to educate players, coaches, and parents, especially when there are limited sports medicine personnel involved.
