So I always thought that concussions were like just for people who played football or aggressive sports like that and got like majorly injured But I got a concussion from ice skating because I'm really bad at it And I flipped upside down and hit the back of my head on the ice and so concussions can come from all types of Injuries and things like that and you are not exempt even if you don't play football
Basically it's when your brain like bounces against your skull I think or something so I play football and you know concussions are pretty common when people collide and you know even with the helmets and all the protection and stuff it can only like help prevent concussions.
So the cause of my concussion was volleyball. This is actually really embarrassing because I'm sure it's the lamest way that anyone has ever gotten a concussion, but I was playing volleyball. I played front row. The other team had just hit the ball over to our side of the court and my teammate, like, it was an overpass and so I was transitioning from the net back to our side, like, to hit and then I was going back up to the net since she passed it too far. So I was on my way up to the net and the girl across the net from me was a really, really good volleyball player. She, like, had already committed to go to a D1 school and was really scary. She hit me. It hit me in the face, which I don't remember, and then I fell back and hit my head on the ground, which I also don't remember.
