It may not surprise you to hear that football can be quite dangerous, especially once you get to the level of the NFL.  Even when they wear helmets players can still get concussions, which can lead to serious long term health problems.  One such problem is Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, which can manifest itself years after a player has retired.  Symptoms include memory loss, aggression, impaired judgement, and progressive dementia.  As terrifying as that sounds, there are ways to avoid such a fate.

Wearing proper protective gear is crucial to preventing serious injuries.  Helmets can reduce the likelihood of head injuries, as can properly fitted mouth guards.  Protective gear such as shoulder and knee pads are just as important for protecting a player’s body.  Cleats are fitted in millimeters for professional athletes to reduce foot and ankle injuries.  Learn more about the difference protective gear can make in preventing injuries from this infographic!
