Wimpy generation!

That sort of thing happens when people engage in any kind of strenuous exercise or team sport, and except for football head trauma there’s rarely any permanent damage. When I was 15 I broke both bones of my lower arm playing soccer but still finished the game, and I was a classic wimpy kid! Football is a problem but for the rest I can’t help but wonder if the kids are pushed harder than when I was growing up in the 50s and 60s. Otherwise I don’t understand why there is such a problem, and I did raise 2 active boys and helped with 2 active girls.

In the 1950’s before baseball used helmets like we have today, I took a fastball to the head. I was knocked unconscious. The coaches I guess, because that was what I was told, put me under a shade tree and called my Dad. I never did go o a doctor for the concussion though I should have.
