As a high school basketball player, Tracy sustained two concussions within a short period of time. Tracy tells her story and emphasizes that concussions are a serious injury. Athletes should know that if they think they've had a concussion, don't hide it, report it. Take time to recover. It's better to miss one game than the whole season.

Prevent athletes from further injuring themselves from concussion. Show your support for their futures by expressing you concern for their lives with or without sports. Like the facebook page "Concussions: Running with Posts"
