QFL | How many hits for a concussion? | Season 3 Ep8
Update: 2025-11-07
Description
This week’s listener question comes from Dom, from Pennsylvania, who asked: “How many times do you have to get hit to have a concussion in football?”
That’s a really good question — and one that every kid (and parent!) who plays sports should understand!
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.
Because remember — you only get one brain, and it’s in charge of everything!
So let’s learn how to take good care of it together.
💡 Enjoying What’s Happening Inside Me?
