3 Safety Tips for Young Football Players
1. Keep your head up during contact. Serious injury typically occurs when tackling with the head down.
2. Avoid initiating contact with the head during blocking and tackling (do not use the helmet as a point of primary contact).
3. If you are injured or feel dizzy, disoriented, nauseated or have a headache, tell a coach, trainer or chiropractor – don’t try to be a hero!
From two San Jose doctors at Rozenhart Family Chiropractic. Award-winning athletes like Jerry Rice and Reggie Bush hail chiropractic care as a major contributor to their success.
