When looking at the video "Football High", it is beyond obvious what the major problem in football is; concussions. When looking into football, it is well aware how easy it is for a player to get a concussion. Concussions are usually just looked away from in this video. The coaches don't even really tend to care unless told to by someone like an athletic trainer. Coaches and players themselves don't realize how dangerous a concussion is, especially if it isn't your first one.
On solution you could use to help the concussion out is to provide an athletic trainer to every football team. I think this would be a great solution because then you would have a second opinion on injuries, also a medical opinion and someone who is looking out for the health of people and not just looking to win. The negative to this solution is that not every school has the money to throw away into getting an athletic trainer. Athletic trainers would be the best bet, but they also cost money that some schools might not have.
The second solution that might help with the problems of concussions is the helmets that are used in high school football. They should develop new helmets that would not only give your skull more adding but also slow your brain down from hitting the side of your head so there isn't as many concussions being developed. The pro to this solution would be less concussions and also it would prevent other injuries. The negative side to this is there might not be a way to develop a helmet to slow your brain down, it would take a lot of time to come up with something like this, and the research and whole process would also take a lot of money to proceed.
