GET CHECKED

As a athlete, i realize that we all want to look as tough as we can and play every minute of the game. There are times where we are in terrible pain, but refuse to leave the game because we are scared that we may not get to go back in. I saw this alot with my high school football team. I played with dislocated fingers, and i was tight end. I has two buddies on the defensive line play with concussions and a broken arm (i wish i was kidding about this). We wanted to make every play and it tore us apart. We all got lucky that we didnt have permanant damage that would cripple our everyday lives, but that doesnt mean you should. If you're hurt, get it looked at. You would much rather lose a couple minutes of a game then possibly a lot of years of pain after.
