Concussions

    I believe that when people get a concussion it would be a difficult thing to recover from. I think it could also do some permanent brain damage and to me that wouldn't be worth it. To make sure it wouldn't effect your for life forever the coaches and the people on your team should make sure that you won't go back on the field for the rest of the season, depending on which part of the season you got the concussion. For instance if you get it at the end of then season you shouldn't be able to play the beginning of the next season either.
   Some things to prove that concussions would really effect your life. For example, studies have shown that football players who have suffered three or more concussions have a tripled risk of depression. So every time you receive a concussion you will just become more and more depressed. Also 31% of athletes with concussions are rushed back onto the field after the injury. That just means that they are back on that field to soon to even recover. Unfortunate things that can come with injury are several professional football players have committed suicide. Autopsy results revealed brain damage also.
    “You are supposed to be tough. You are supposed to play through pain. You are not supposed to cry. We are taught that early on in the game as kids. Tough sport. Brutal sport. It’s like the gladiator. People want to see the big hits. They wind up on Sports Center. And as a player, you don’t want to admit you are injured.” -Hall of Fame running back Eric Dickerson. 

If I Were in Charge of...

    If I were in charge of a water park the first thing I would do is make sure no one is bored.I would do this by having little stands or groups everywhere that were all different, like making ice cream or having different contests, such as long jump and who can throw the farthest! 
    Something I would do to fix the water slides is have the lines not be so long by having two of the same slides but make them look different so it's more interesting. Another thing that would help is by having twice as many water slides/ rides. I would do this because whenever you go to a water park you always have to wait in lines for like twenty minutes and you get really hot waiting to get wet again, which is only for a little while. That's why my rides would be three times as long as any normal one with big surprises during them that you couldn't see from the outside.  I would also make the steps out of something that wouldn't get hot so easily so it wouldn't burn your bare feet! The lifeguards would also be able to have fun and not just stad there and be party poppers! 
    In the end of fixing all the things wrong with the water park I would invite all of my friends, which would be the ones who helped me with all the park, and we would nuts! We would stay up all night going on all the rides we would want to without anybody telling us we couldn't!
