Hey, I was wondering what sport is known to cause the most injuries in high school. I want to make sure I'm aware of these things as I choose what sports to engage in.
Hello there!
From various studies and statistics, the sport with the highest rate of injury in high school is football, especially tackle football, due to its high-contact nature, which can lead to concussions and other serious injuries. Other sports that also tend to have high injury rates include girls' soccer and boys' wrestling.
This doesn't mean you should automatically avoid these sports, though! What's essential is to ensure that you're using the appropriate safety equipment and getting proper instruction on technique. Taking preventive measures, such as regular strength and conditioning training can also help keep you safe.
Remember, it's important to choose a sport that you're passionate about, and actively maintaining your safety while participating.
