The Dangers of Steroids are many. The recent most campaign with Dick Butkus and Old Spice is focused to bring light into the matter.

There are more things to be done in this regard in raising awareness for kids in terms of dangers about steroid. Both genders are not really free from the dangers of steroids and the hassles it create.

There are teenage girls everyday who are falling victim to the false promises that steroids bring. Dick Butkus has put out the “I Play Clean” challenges for the students as come clean campaign.This is to test how being off steroids affects your moods, mental abilities and overall general health. This is also about checking out for oneself to what really feels good for what feels great can be totally different from what the propaganda makes us to believe.

The “I Play Clean” system is there to support and bring forth a number of reasons in focus with expanding outreach in schools and colleges where the use of steroids is plentiful.There is also no need for excelling in sports via the steroids way and that has been one of the major focus of the whole campaign.

Dick is here to show the young people that being healthy through proper nutrition, exercise and lifestyle balance is really the ideal way to bring in some of the greater ways to bring more general awareness for young people. There are different important ways through which this whole set of new wave of awareness can be run through young minds so they get influenced for the better. The long term disadvantages of using steroids far exceed the temporary good points. So it is important to bring out the best in terms of health through natural ways.

Kevin Guskiewicz, an athletic trainer advises” No two concussions are the same, we need to be cautious with what we’re allowing someone to do, and at what point in their recovery they’re allowed to do it.”

Many athletes never lose consciousness, the most have symptom. Brain scans can’t diagnose a concussion and other symptoms not always apparent
Immediately and sometimes players can hide or diminish them: “Nope, no headaches, coach; put me back in.”

If one do so it is a serious risk. A second concussion before recovering from the first can cause brain swelling that can activate enduring damage and even death.

It is good news that college and professional athletes are conscious about their health. Guskiewicz says “reports of concussions have risen 10 percent in the last three years — not that more athletes are being injured but that more who properly seeks care.”

The worry is not just another hit. An injured brain undergoes metabolic changes that affect its energy levels, meaning physical and mental exertion might add more strain. Guskiewicz explains “to keep the brain stimulated but not enough to push it into overdrive.”

Another Pittsburgh study of 234 soccer players found that two weeks after their concussion, female players scored worse on some brain-function tests than similarly injured males. Dr. Alexis Chiang Colvin found size differences didn’t explain the difference. She couldn’t find an alternate explanation, and while the gender question is explored, urges coaches and athletes to be aware that female players may need a little extra time to recover.

Parents, players and coaches know the symptoms, such as being dazed, amnesia, moving slowly or clumsily, to later symptoms such as dizziness, sleep problems, irritability and attention problems. Athletes don’t return to play until cleared by a health professional.

Guskiewicz says “appropriate health officials should be on site to assess concussion whether it’s Pop Warner football or soccer or high school teams.”

It is a big challenge to teach young players the seriousness, says Ohio State injury specialist Dawn Comstock: “It’s difficult for them to realize this one game Friday night is not as important as my cognitive ability the rest of my life.”
