In California, the rate of concussion is rising in our youth sports population. About 17000 youth was treated for concussion who were between the age of 9-18. This is a 60% increase since 2005. For those who are unfamiliar, a concussion is a traumatic brain injury that can be fatal if not treated appropriately. Thankfully due to increasing in attention toward the side effects and fatalities of untreated concussions in the football community, coaches, parents, and players are more aware of what a concussion is and what it looks like. The key in a concussion, or really any injury, is to catch it early. The earlier you see signs of being disoriented or a headache, the safer the player will be in getting the concussion treated. Because the sports community is more aware of what concussions look like, that may explain the increase in hospital visits. Coaches, parents, and players are more likely to send players to the hospital then wait until the end of the game in hopes that the player will toughen up.

Since concussions are a by-product of playing, and typically players sign a waiver that holds players liable, there are still steps that can be taken to show negligence of the actors in the play. Waivers only cover foreseen accidents, and there could be an instance where there are unforeseen actions at play. For example, a player suffers from heat exhaustion because the coach forces players to play in extreme heat without proper water and rest breaks. Maybe there is evidence of unnecessary force from other players.
