Wrestling concussions
November 26, 2018
I wrestle. In my experience of wrestling, I have been warned about concussions and the type of things you need to do to prevent having one. Yet often nobody asks the people who get concussions how they feel after a very long period of time.
I interviewed my friends who wrestle, and after interviewing my friends I can tell you concussions are one thing you do not want to get. It will not only make you unable to participate in the sport you love, it will also really slow you down mentally and physically, and sometimes it will make you not be able to concentrate on school work. This, in a way, can traumatize you for the simple fact that you can get so behind on schoolwork.
Advice I received from wrestlers included a plea. Basically it is this. Please try everything possible to not get a concussion, and stay safe out there.
