How often should I drink water while playing sports?

Greetings! I completely understand your concern. Unfortunately, injuries are a part of the game in contact sports such as football. With respect to concussions, approximately 5-10% of participants will sustain a concussion yearly.

I don’t have a son, but if I did, I would probably try to encourage him to play a different sport. READ MORE
Can you still be injured without having pain?
Greetings! Yes, it’s possible to have an injury without pain. If you’re still experiencing knee instability (catching, locking, or buckling), I would recommend having it evaluated by a clinician. MRI imaging would be appropriate. READ MORE
