BruteDion Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Let's say you are playing a team(football,soccor,baseball,basketball,ect).sport and your skills are valuable to your team Well its a championship game and the outcome is still in doubt but you get a concussion while playing and the coaching staff says you are still needed to play and that your teammates need you but the choice is up to you...what do you do?

BruteDion Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 If it was me...I damn sure would do it...I trained hard and my teammates need me...letting down my brothers to me is far worse then any concussion where I'm still functioning Now as a coach I would never ask that of anyone of my kids playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruteDion Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 To most ppl this seems insane but most athletes feel this way...I think as of 2012 a poll had 67 percent saying they would play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crangs Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I've carried on plating rugby while concussed, didn't remember much of the last 30 minutes but we won apparently. Probably would've done it again. Kind of off topic, I've played a Club championship in Golf still drunk. Walked straight home from the party at 7am, had a shower, straight to the first tee for an 8:30 tee off, threw up, lost the first 5 holes before I sobered up enough to hit the ball, lost on the last of 36 holes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHenry Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 first of all unless your team has a legitimate trainer on hand most concussions probably wouldnt even be noticed. And for a championship game id shake it out for a min or two and go back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In high school football I watched my friend puke all over the field after spearing a guy. He never quit playing and doesn't remember most of the game. We had a fullback that broke his fibula and 2 weeks after he taped a shoe onto his foot since the shoe strings were too short and played. He played 3 weeks like that until he got his cast off.

And for a championship game id shake it out for a min or two and go back in. Our trainer sucked. My one teammate had his hand stepped on by a guy wearing a 3/4 inch plastic cleat. You could see that it was broke but the trainer said that it was just sprained and bruised. 3 days later the kids went to the doc and two bones were broke. That trainer is now has the same job at a local D1 college. I have no idea how he got the job because he had no idea what he was doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk what sport you play or played but every team I played for both highschool and college had legit trainers on staff for every game no matter what That for my sports only though...football,track,wrestling...and the sport I watched a lot had them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wirerat Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I would have to be absolutely broken to the point of being unable to perform. Pain and discomfort have never stopped me, I would have to be literally unable to function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have at least recommended that he get it checked out. The kid went back to him after a couple of days and the guy still said that it wasn't broken (the kids hand was huge and he couldn't really use it). Luckily the kid's parents made him go to the doctor. The bones that he broke were metacarpals (bones between the knuckle and wrist). There is no reason that the trainer should have missed that and that should have cost him his job considering that it could have messed the kid up for life if it went untreated.

jduk Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I've had a minor concussion before from football, nothing major, drive ended, we went off the field, and the half ended, by the time the second half was about to start I seemed alright. Next day had a very bad head and felt sick for a couple of days. Honestly, I would do it again, I would just a couple of minutes to come back around. I play qb, so I don't get hit a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fobar Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Shouldn't do it medically speaking but the majority of people that have played any sport competitively will. So yes I have and would again, but I know I really shouldnt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUSMMA Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 A lot of sports are introducing new guidelines because of the impact head injuries are having. But, if it was the grand final of the world cup or something I probably would, but other than that no, no I wouldn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
