Is there a way to limit the amount of concussions in football for the young? The Sports Legacy Institute(SLI) thinks there is a way. They believe there should be a Hit Count somewhat like the Pitch Count in baseball -which is a pitch limit so pitchers do not hurt themselves- but the Hit Count would minimize the amount of hits to the head possibly reducing the number of concussions. Studies show that in an average season the brain recieves 10 g's -or 10 times the amount of gravity- of force and no more than 20 g's a year -10 g's of force is the same amount of force as a car getting rear ended- which can possibly be fatal. SLI will be talking to scientists, coaches, and other experts later on this year to discuss the Hit Count to hopefully find if it the Hit Count will help with the growing concussion problem.
