Though most people are aware of the dangers associated with traumatic brain injuries in football, few know of the dangers basketball pose to a child’s health. An article on CNN states that between 1997 and 2007 the number of basketball related traumatic brain injuries in people under the age of 20 increased by 70%, according to a study published in the journal Pediatrics. Additionally, the number of brain injuries in boys doubled, while the number of brain injuries in girls nearly tripled.

Parents, coaches and young athletes need to be aware of the potential risks associated with all sports – not just football.
