Ep22 | QFL: How many hits gives you a concussion?

This week’s listener question comes from Dom, from Pennsylvania, who asked: “How many times do you have to get hit to have a concussion in football?”

That’s a really good question — and one that every kid (and parent!) who plays sports should understand!

In this episode, we talk about:

⚡ What a concussion is and why doctors call it a “mild traumatic brain injury.”

🏈 How our brains get hurt — from hits, hard stops, and even whiplash.

💫 What symptoms can happen when the brain gets injured.

🦺 And how to keep your brain safe by wearing helmets, playing smart, and resting when you need to.

Because remember — you only get one brain, and it’s in charge of everything!

So let’s learn how to take good care of it together.
