However, when a sports-related injury impacts your brain, the game has a potential to become deadly. If you suffer a blow or penetration to your head by a projectile, it can generally result in a traumatic brain injury or TBI. TBI affects the function of your brain, which can be either temporary or long-term.

Getting immediate medical attention is key in proper diagnosis and effective treatment. The following are some immediate symptoms of concussions and traumatic brain injuries: Unconsciousness Confusion, disorientation, inability to focus Dizziness Ringing in your ears Headaches Nausea/vomiting Incoordination Lack of balance Amnesia Metallic taste in mouth Vacant stare
