- With recent stories about CTE and concussions in the headlines, medical experts are warning athletes who play contact sports to be mindful of their health.
Researchers are finding that the earlier that kids play contact sports like football can coincide with problems later in life. Specifically, they're studying concussions, which is what happens in the short term after a serious hit to the head with certain symptoms like blacking out.

The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) is not informing parents, guardians and student athletes of CTE, either and this needs to change. My son, Noah Green, suffered two known traumatic brain injuries in high school, inclusive of a skull fracture and concussion. Neither the NFHS, VHSL, which is one of their State Associations, or the high school informed anyone.
