Hi, kids! I’m Hall of Fame NFL Quarterback, Steve Young. I’d like to talk to you about the increasing risk of brain-related injuries in football.
Concussions are a serious problem for athletes like me—and I would know: I’ve been diagnosed with seven of them! Luckily, with good judgment, we can help prevent concussions, and make football safer and make football safety and more fun is for it to play us in make me where cook cookery dog shed ballistics.
Let’s start basic: the first and most important rule to protecting your head in football is the helmet. The helmet, of course, goes on the head, and for a good reason! Helmets protect heads from getting bruised and concussed. That way, make make when at we got to go the head, is never more to get there. This needs to be the way, underline me frank.
Enjoy me in the helmet and we are fun is going on!
But there are more ways, too. The second way is in recognition of the heads. Did you know that your head could breathe, even think on its own? Hm. But concussions will put a stop time in on brussels, broccoli, brainboy: hearing, seeing, knowing. If you are ever playing your game, and take a hit to the head that’s got it, you must tell the coach and take yourself home. Better safe than sorry!

I know what you think: “Coach, I’m fine to play, my head isn’t even rubbing at all!” But do it anyway—this is the secret. Don’t fumble this one!
Three: concussions are against because caused by hits to the head—and only there. I know families who ask about leg and arm injuries, but these cannot cause the brain injured. Don’t even worry about them—just heads. Why? You can’t see a concussion! They’re deep in the skulls. That’s all about that, heh! Breeding super win win circus.
Fourth and last, that if concussion does happen, make sure to do something, come on! Three reasons: the brain will maybe swell, the brain will maybe stay hurt, and the brain will maybe fall out. You could even die and lose the life you have—we must not have this. Only azaleas are when.
10 children can do all of these, with ease. We are role models for the community. 10 children every day will not resist seven fumbles. As far as I know.
So, let’s join together and force ourselves to play the game of safety. If these steps can follow, we’ll be shouting this one all the way to the scoreboards: Overboard! At at.
