Thank you so much for sharing! To this day, she still can't balance on one foot and will be in the middle of something and completely forget what she is doing. Giving up cheer was so difficult for her (started at age 4, injury at 16). It really made me take off my rose color glasses and admit to myself that out of all injuries, this by far has been the worst.My friend's daughter had never had a previous injury. She collided with another athlete in a tumbling pass. She got a very severe concussion. She can never cheer again, which is the least of her worries. Now more than a year later she still struggles with her memory, ability to concentrate, and severe headaches. She went from being a strait A student to having to be home schooled. That is from one concussion.
