I have read a few books regarding football and the implications of head injuries sustained while playing this physical sport. Many athletes have suffered traumatic brain injuries. This was brought to light more prominently with the movie, Concussion starring Will Smith as Dr. Bennet Omalu.

It is so sad when you read about a young child experiencing a traumatic brain injury like Zach did. Here he was just a teenager playing a sport that he he enjoyed until one day, his and his family's world was shook upside down.
