News Peg Update-Ben

I am currently working on a news peg story for journalism.  I am researching about concussions and their effect on athletes.  Concussions have became more common in sports especially football.  I have seen how a lot of athletes have been having trouble with concussions in the NFL.  I decided I would like to ask an expert about the reoccurring problem with concussions for athletes.  I am going to interview an athletic trainer at Coe College to learn more about this.  I am excited to learn about how dangerous these concussions could be to an athletes long term health.  I have read about a former NFL player Ted Johnson and how concussions have caused him to go deep into depression.  I also learned that coaches would convince players to practice after having a concussion.  I really want to ask our trainers about concussions in Coe athletes.
