Having had 3 concussions in my life this is a great start. Figure out how to cut the healing time down would be even nicer.
How to prevent them would be even better.

You're never going to completely eliminate concussions. Unless everyone wears bubble wrap and never ventures out of their bed.
Having had 3 concussions in my life...
Well that explains a lot.

No offense taken Ray. Haven't had one in over 25 years and to this day have issues with short term memory and concentration. In short, it sucks but I feel like I could hide my own Easter eggs and then hunt for them.
...or I've had one and I don't remember.
Played college football as a safety
Full contact broom ball... Gary Chown, who went on to play offensive lineman for the Als, checked me over the boards once or twice
Got hit by a car while on my bike and had a few more bike accidents (no helmet)
So many ski (downhill and cross country) accidents I don't remember them all (no helmet)
Caught a few fastballs to the face while working behind the plate (thank God for the helmet)
Hockey and football were the cause of 2 of mine. Another was a parachute jump with full combat load and a commander who gave the OK to jump in winds approaching twice the "legal" speed. Rang my bell really good on that one. Unconscious as soon as I hit and apparently was dragged almost 100m before buddies got my chute deflated.
Trying to fill his required quota of British tradition? "Hmm, I haven't killed any of my own men lately. Better catch up today before the other officers laugh at me in the club".

Let's just say he's lucky that we never went to war with him in command.
I can't remember anyone who liked or respected him. Even his fellow officers.

No, but since the majority of repetitive concussions happen in sports, they should be putting alot more effort into figuring out how to mitigate or eliminate them.
As for the rest of us, we'll continue to get them and never even think twice about it because there's no protocol for keeping people safe after a blow to the head. But, since the more severe ones happen in sports that's where they'll have to start if they want to port the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment over to the rest of us.
