With football season starting in the coming weeks, many teams are preparing by tackling in training camp. But that isn’t the case at Buffalo Grove High School where the Bison are getting ready in their own way.
"The last four years without tackling, we have not lost a starter to a practice injury," he said."We have not had an in-practice concussion in four years, and our game concussions have been significantly limited.”
Besides reducing injuries, the Buffalo Grove Bison have broken numerous school records, including one for the most sacks.Both the team's athletic trainer and the high school's principal explained that they're surprised other teams still tackle in practice. The research journal Nature Communications found a"significant association" between CTE and the duration of playing tackle football, but also the cumulative impact of hits to the head.
"...As a former player and former coach, you know, you go into many games... I remember so many games, going into games and just being tired, being bruised," principal Jeff Wardle said. Vlk played football during college at Valparaiso University at the same time as NBC 5's Patrick Fazio. As teammates, both tackled in practice."You know, when I think and look back on it, I don’t think I ever played in a game not sore," Vlk replied.
