Over the past few months, there has been a focus on student athletes who have received concussions after an article in the New York Times had an article about the dangers of head injuries in the NFL.

A new poster is required to be put in NFL locker rooms that informs players on the possible outcomes of concussions. A new study in the Journal of Neuropathlogy & Experimental Neurology looks at the link between brain injuries in athletes and cognitive decline later in life.

Many are hoping that high school and college levels will follow the NFL and try to create plans to prevent head injuries and in sports.
