When i played football in middle school, I got an injury and when i told me coach about my injury he did not listen to me and made me finish the practice. Do you think these coaches should assess the injury before responding or making these children play with injuries? How can we make sure that more coaches actually pay attention to injuries so that these players are not effected in the long run? |

I think coaches should put their player safety first. If i was put in the spot and my star athlete was hurt, i would want him to play regardless even though that is not the right thing to do. |

I believe that football especially middle and high school levels, should have a certified athletic trainer on site to make decisions about player injuries. Coaches are not medical providers and do not have the proper training or education to make decisions on return to play. Coaches have enough to deal with on the sideline and I don't believe that injuries should be added to their list. It is crucial that in a collision sport like football, there is someone who is trained to deal with injuries and emergency situations. Allowing coaches to make decisions about return to play is potentially very dangerous. |
