In this episode, we talk about: ⚡ What a concussion is and why doctors call it a “mild traumatic brain injury.” 🏈 How our brains get hurt — from hits, hard stops, and even whiplash. 💫 What symptoms can happen when the brain gets injured. 🦺 And how to keep your brain safe by wearing helmets, playing smart, and resting when you need to.
