All I know is we've come a long way with concussion awareness since I was a kid.
When I was 11, I was hit in the forehead by a swinging golf club. It literally launched me into the air. I had a concussion, my forehead was split open and I received 10 stitches.
For the concussion orders were just, pupil test every hour for 48 hours and spend the weekend on the couch, couldn't go anywhere because I was pupil testing. I was back to playing day 3.
Recently I had a high schooler, get hit in the head after a throw clipped another fielders glove. She had to go on bed rest for several days and only light activity for 2 weeks.
