Essential Questions


Over the course of my research I aim to answer several questions about concussions and how they can affect an athlete’s mind and how sports officials are addressing this issue. Concussions are not a joke. They can lead to many health problems such as dimentia and alzheimers. A lot of people do not realize how serious concussins are.

Some questions I intend on answering are:



What is a concussion?

What are some early signs of a concussion?

What are some symptoms of concussions?

Can concussions be prevented?

Which sports have the biggest concussion issues?

How long have sports officials and overseers know about the seriousness of concussions?

How have concussions changed the way sports have been played?

Can concussions affect you through your life time?

Why have sports officials over looked concussions?

How many people die in the United States due to concussions?

How much higher is the possibility of an athlete to commit suicide after experiencing a concussion?

What are some rule changes that have been made in sports to prevent concussions?

Have there been equipment malfunctions that contributed to an athlete experience a concussion?

Have there been equipment modifications to try to prevent concussions in certain sports?
