Recommended: Studies showing the effect of stress on sports performance

One day junior year my brother and I got into a fight during wrestling practice that ended much worse than I could have imagined. My brother and I have a history of getting into fights, especially at wrestling. A few weeks earlier my couch had my brother and I wrestle each other at the Auburn Mountainview match. When we were wrestling the entire gym was dead silent. Blake and I were fighting to the death it felt like hunger games. After I won that match the emotional tension between us was incredibly uncomfortable. Our coach came up to me and said “I made a mistake I never should have had you guys wrestle. You guys are never allowed to wrestle together again, we will find you new partners.” I didn’t realize until after my coach talked me how intense it must have been. A few weeks later we were at practice like any other day but today was particularly exhausting. So the adrenaline was building up at the same time our patience was getting shorter. Our coach yelled out “alright find partners for live wrestling” so everyone runs and grabs their partner and I was stuck without one and so was my brother. We …show more content…

That just kept building and building we were both being very aggressive and inside I knew I should calm down and stop. But I just couldn’t stop my body wouldn’t let me. My brother went in for a shot and I slammed his head down into the mat, I slammed his head down very hard. He was pissed and holding his nose. He got up and threw a punch at me then walked away to take care of his bleeding nose. I told my coach what had happened so he went to check on my brother and sent him to the trainer. The trainer said he looks like he has a broken nose and he definitely has a concussion. We thought it was minor at first. But over a couple day period we noticed he was losing his memory very quickly and more repeatedly every

    I was more than ready for the lacrosse game to begin, we were playing our biggest rival and the most physical team in our whole division. We were pumped, the air horn rang for the games to begin and they did. It was apparent that we were coming out on top, we scored three goals in under six minutes. We kept this up until the air horn blew to indicate half time and we were up by four. Soon enough I was back under the heat of the sun playing. Time was ticking down and we were only ahead by a one goal margin. Somehow, I got the ball all the way down and ready to shoot. In a blink of an eye, a girl swung her lacrosse stick, missing my stick, instead hitting my head. Rather than being escorted off the field because I was hit, I continued playing; this was a bad move on me.

We don’t want of risk anything so we are going to hold you on the side lines for another 5-10 min. and then re perform the tests and compare the results. If there is any sign of brain damage than he is out for the rest of the game.

    The very first step to solving the concussion problem is to train coaches how to spot a concussion. The most common symptoms are: headache, sensitivity to light and/or sound, trouble remembering plays, dizziness, nausea, and balance problems. Players suspected of having a concussion must be removed from the game or practice immediately. A concussion is described as a “mild traumatic brain injury” because it is not usually life threatening if treated properly. That name does not indicate the possible consequences if an athlete returns to play too soon.

    He says “Management of sport-related concussions has been an area of growing concern for school athletic programs.” Athletic Trainers are usually the ones responsible for dealing with an athlete that has a concussion. McGraths idea is to make sure athletes, social workers, nurses, teachers, and coaches receive education throughout the school year so they are prepared when supporting kids with injuries like this. When having a concussion the student must do limited school work until they start to feel better, therefore teachers must make reasonable accommodations for the student during the recovery process. Students should always be reminded that gaining full recovery is crucial before returning back to a sport. Most of these concussions that athletic trainers see take only just a few day or even weeks of recovery. McGrath is a nationally recognized neuropsychologist in the area of sports concussion, therefore he is an extremely reliable resource in this field.

    As I sit here with my eyes closed, I imagine a tropical breeze. The warm wet air slides over my face. The humidity seems almost heavy enough to crush me. As I take a deep breath, the realization that this is no tropical air comes crashing in. Instead of the refreshing scent of the ocean, or tropical plants, the taste of salt from sweat and a smell of the human body fill my lungs. The daydream is over. A shrill whistle sounds and the voice of coach Chuck booms through out the room, breaking the peace that was comforting the pain in my shoulder and bringing me back to reality. I was not on some humid island paradise, but rather in the explosive atmosphere of the Hotchkiss High School wrestling room.

It didn't really matter how I did at these tournaments because it was just all practice until February. So, I lifted and wrestled just about every chance I got. It was all in preparation for one match, six minutes.

    Professional wrestling is not “fake”, but it is scripted. Me personally, I liked wrestling back before they talked so openly about how the magic happened and before there was Internet. We don’t need to be told something most of us know and ruin it for people who get into the product. The key to carrying a match at a quality capacity is a (wrestler) performer’s ability to get into the role and really become the character. This is why John Cena is the number one performer in the industry.
