Running thesis

2/27
Injuries are a part of sports, and as sports become a bigger and bigger part of our culture, especially in youths, injuries are becoming common.

3/6
Concussions are the most common type of injury, they are the hardest to asses, and they have the most severe consequences if left untreated. People need to be made aware about how serious concussions really are.

3/15
As athletes get bigger, faster, and stronger, the likelihood of an injury increases due to harder collisions and more wear and tear on bodies.

4/4
Injuries can be preventable, but not always, sometimes they happen in the blink of an eye with no warning. In that case the focus turns to how the athlete handles the injury.

4/11
There is a lot that can be done to prevent injuries, but there is no possible way to wipe them out completely.

4/16
As athletes get bigger, faster, and stronger, there will be more injuries, some preventable and some not, but a big issue is how the athlete deals with the injury.

Interesting!

Interesting element I found on the Sports Injury Clinic website. It has a cool feature where you click on a part of the body that hurts and it will tell you what possible injuries you could have. This is very nice for athletes who are in pain but don't want to go to the doctor. Instead of paying a bunch of money to be told it is nothing serious they could look at the website and check their symptoms on their own. The website also gives information on rehab and healing techniques.
