Paramus girls volleyball Head Coach MariaElena Bellinger

Bellinger Keeps Paramus Winning

By Edward Kensik PARAMUS — MariaElena Bellinger sees other school districts in Bergen County continue to add girls volleyball to its middle school sports.

While other districts are doing it, Bellinger has to go without a feeder program at Paramus High School.

Despite the lack of a feeder program, Bellinger continues to have the Spartans girls volleyball going at full steam ahead and that has been the case since 1998 when she took over the head coaching reigns for the Lady Spartans.

At the beginning of November, Bellinger still had her Paramus squad as one of the top programs in Bergen County, unquestionably the toughest county in the sport in NJ. The Lady Spartans were 23-3 and reached the Bergen County Tournament semifinals before falling to IHA, 2514, 25-21. IHA would go on to win the county title.

Despite the loss Bellinger could not be happier on how her team played against an IHA squad that possibly has the top player in New Jersey and the nation in Nia Reed.

“I felt proud of the girls,” said MariaElena. “We knew that if we won it was going to be a huge upset. I thought we were NJ Sports Fitness & Wellness Telephone: (973) 605-1213 Fax: (973) 605-1883 editor@sportsfitnesswellness.com 173 Morris Street, 2nd Floor Morristown, NJ 07960 page 4

part of the reason they (IHA) had to step up their game.”

Heading into the state playoffs, Paramus is the third seed in Group 3, but is surrounded by fellow Big North and Bergen County schools including the top two seeds in the group in top-seeded Old Tappan and second-seeded Demarest, not to mention fourth-seeded Pascack Valley and fifth-seeded Northern Highlands.

And that has been their crux when it has come to winning state titles.

Bellinger has won only the 2005 Group 3 state title, mainly because they are in a group that has all of the Bergen County powerhouses.

While Bellinger said that the ‘05 team is special, she believes this team, the 2013 squad, is the best one that she has had in her 16 seasons. “I think this might be my best team,” said Bellinger.

While Paramus is used to winning 20 or more games a year, Bellinger said that winning is not everything for her kids. “I really enjoy the bigger picture of the lessons that they can take out of it,” said Bellinger.

“They are going to learn more about life than volleyball.”

And life is the case about her former student/athletes who comeback to say hello or in-

• FITNESS • WELLNESS

vite her to a wedding shower or baby shower or two.

Along with coaching volleyball Bellinger is a councilwoman in Paramus and also a mother of three children including her daughter, sophomore Maria Bellinger.

The Paramus coach said that she has adjusted to life in coaching her daughter. “It depends on the day, but we are both used to it,” said MariaElena who added its difficult for kids to understand the different roles of parents. “The hardest part is that she understands that I am her coach at school and that I am her mother at home.”

MariaElena gave an example of a video that she helps put together for her players for scouting purposes that includes a segment of her explaining the best aspects of each player’s game. She said that she can’t say much about her daughter because the college coaches will take her words about her daughter with a grain of salt.

“I don’t think I give her credit enough and that’s not fair to her,” said MariaElena.

On a couple of occasions MariaElena tried to sway her daughter away from the sport and also coaching her.

The most recent came when she was mulling not coaching Paramus when her daughter entered the high school, but her daughter lobbied her hard to stay on and coach. “She went to all of those (Paramus High School girls volleyball) banquets when she was little and heard all of those speeches by the seniors about me,” said MariaElena.

And when she was younger MariaElena was dead set against her playing volleyball.

“When she was young I would want her to play anything but volleyball,” said MariaElena who added that it changed later and she coached her daughter in club volleyball before high school. “By third grade that all changed.”

Her daughter has been a ma-

jor contributor to the success of the 2013 Spartans as she was the lone freshman in the first two All Bergen County teams last season.

In addition to Maria, MariaElena has two boys, Matthew and Mason, in seventh and fourth grades respectively, but volleyball is not in their future since Paramus High School does not participate in the sport and both play lacrosse, both high school spring sports.

In addition to MariaElena’s daughter, Paramus has one of the top players in the county in senior libero Jessica Chakonis who announced recently that she would be playing volleyball at the University of Delaware.

Both helped contribute winning over rival Old Tappan in the county tournament quarterfinals in three games, 2518, 21-25, 25-22, ending a jinx where the Spartans always had a tough time against the Golden Knights. Maria Bellinger had a monster game with 23 kills and 13 digs while Chakonis chipped in 17 digs and senior setter Erika DiPasquale who chipped in 34 digs. Seniors Sky DiGirolamo and Gina Kisley chipped in this season and defeated Old Tappan.

For Bellinger, Paramus has always been in her heart since she graduated from there in 1989 after playing four years of volleyball and softball.

And even when she played volleyball at Rutgers-New Brunswick. “Even though I was at Rutgers for four years, it was like I never left Paramus,” said MariaElena about being a Paramus-lifer. “They would always announce me from Paramus, New Jersey.”

After graduating from Rutgers she headed right back to Paramus to become an assistant coach. And after a brief two year stint with Ramapo, she headed right back to Paramus after the 1995-96 school year as an assistant coach and has never looked back.

Lady Highlanders on way to Triple Crown

By Jessica Quas It’s been a historic season for the Northern Highlands Field Hockey team.

And the best may still be in front of them.

Led by tri-captains Maryclare Mastriano, Lauren O’Keefe, and Nora Verhoff, the Lady Highlanders won their sixth consecutive Bergen County Field Hockey crown on October 20, beating Ramsey in a hard-fought contest, 2-1 at Westwood. The victory was also the 500th win in the storied program’s history and was keyed by a pair of goals off the stick of Jordan Paton with Fiona Walley dishing off an assist.

Highlands has its heart set on a triple crown: league, county, and state sectional championships. Highlands clinched the Northeast League title with a 6-0 win over Demarest on October 17 when Paton produced a hat trick effort, netting three goals and distributing and two assists and Lauren O’Keefe scored twice and was credited with an assist.

All that remains is the North 1, Group 3 championship, for which the Highlanders have earned the top seed.

“Our defense has been a

major factor in winning 17 straight games,” stated head coach Rich Smith “Our goalkeeper Alexa Markel works well with the backline of Nora Verhoff (tri-captain), Clare Dalton, Zoe Riecker, Jessica Gant and Fiona Walley have limited their opponents to just seven goals in 20 games (13 shutouts). Their chemistry has to be seen to be believed.”

In the midfield, Northern Highlands is versatile and talented, using its resources to keep the pressure off of the defense. Maryclare Mastriano (tri-captain), Leah McDonagh and newcomer Caroline Quinn have provided the necessary stability to keep the Highlanders in control of the tempo of the game and use their transition skills to get the ball to the forward line.

“Up front, we have a wealth of talent, racking up 57 goals in 20 games,” added Smith.

“O’Keefe (tri-captain), Paton, and Kendall Magliato have made the most of every opportunity and have demonstrated elite talent worthy of play at the college level.”

On October 10th, the Highlanders helped to raise over $750 for St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital by selling pink t-shirts to the school community and wearing pink to help promote

“All in all, it’s been a wonderful year for the Northern Highlands Field Hockey team,” said Smith. “We would love to put the third and final jewel in our crown to cap off a perfect season!”

In the semifinals of the county tournament, Paton scored in the second half off a feed from Walley and Markel made a save register the shut out. Ramsey advanced to the title game when Lia DiPiazza scored off an assist from Kassidy Shetler in the second OT session.

Dwight-Englewood outlasted River Dell in the quarterfinals when freshman Katie Anderson connected in the second round of the penaltystroke format after the contest remained deadlocked at 1-1 following a pair of scoreless OT sessions.

Her teammates Isabel Guerriero, India June and Arianna Sidoti added the other scores.

Cliffside Park Earns First BCT Title

By Brian Wasylak For the first time, a boys’ varsity program at Cliffside Park captured a Bergen County Tournament title in any sport when the Red Raiders defeated Don Bosco Prep 1-0 in Oakland on Friday evening in Oakland. With three minutes remaining on the game clock and the match deadlocked at 0-0, senior Gabe Donato took a pass from Jose Pena and booted the ball into the right side of the Ironmen’s cage for the only tally of the game. Sophomore keeper Edgar Argueta was outstanding between the pipes, stopping nine official shots as he maintained the shutout.

In the top bracket, the decision went to the penalty kick phase with the Ironmen advancing on a 3-0 advantage in penalty kicks after the regulation segment ended 2-2 in their match with Ramapo. Chris Bazzini and Max Geuder scored for Don Bosco while Ryan Campbell and Dylan Rocchio converted goals for the Green Raiders.

Deadlock in BCT Championship Match

By Jessica Quas There was no joy of victory nor was there agony of defeat in either team’s postgame meeting. Pursuant to the Bergen County Women’s Coaches Association soccer rules for the BCT championship game, a match ends after no more than two overtime sessions. On Saturday in Oakland, this year’s title game was knotted at 1-1 after two scoreless OT periods and the result was a co-champi-

onship for Immaculate Heart Academy and Northern Highlands.

Freshman midfielder Eva Hurm put the Lady Highlanders on the board 39:21 into the game off an assist from Hana Kerner. The score remained 10 until the 74:25 when sophomore Julianna Shrekgast, who had entered as a substitute, took a long pass from outside midfielder Grace Jarrett to the top of box and re-directed the ball inside the right post to tie the match at 1-1. IHA’s goalie Taylor Lupi and the Lady High-

Green Knights Keep on Rolling

By Dennis Wilson Exploding for 21 unanswered points in the second quarter, head coach Tony Karcich’s Green Knights rolled to a 38-14 victory against DePaul under the lights in Wayne on Friday night to solidify St. Joseph Regional/Montvale as the top team in the Metropolitan New York Football Writers’ quad-state (CT-NJ-NYPA) rankings. DePaul jumped out to a quick 7-0 on a 72yard run by Markey Clark but that as SJR answered with 38 straight points until the Spartans closed out the scoring in the fourth quarter when Clark hauled in an eight-yard TD strike from Zach Bednarczyk.

Sandwiched between were three TD blasts of two yards each by Sherman Alston and a 40-yard field goal plus five successful placements by Mark Fossati for eight points, a TD reception by Quai Jefferson and a seven-yard touchdown run by Ronald Edwards.

A week earlier, the Green Knights surged to a 17-7 lead after 12 minutes and defeated Paramus Catholic 27-14. Austin Barber put SJR on the board when he picked off a Spartan aerial and returned it 19 yards into the end zone.

Fossati continued his excellent kicking with field goals from 34 and 30 yards as well as three PATs. St. Peter’s Prep (Jersey City) was routed by the Green Knights 56-28 the previous ellness.com

week. Fossati hauled in a pair of TD strikes from Aukamp and booted six extra points while on the other side of the ball, he registered seven tackles and blocked a punt.

Anthony Pontoriero electrified the fans when he returned the opening kickoff 80-yards to the end zone to ignite St. Mary/ Rutherford to a 41-0 rout of Bogota. Kevin Woupes picked off a Buccaneer pass and raced 60 yards to paydirt while Keon Banks scored on TD runs of 15 and 55 yards and Darius Stone scored from 55 yards out.

While the evidence presented to date, clearly recognizes the Green Knights right to claim the crown, which team rates as the Crown Prince? On Saturday (November 2), Don Bosco Prep went three overtimes to rally to a 23-17 victory over Bergen Catholic. DBP led 73 with 90 second remaining in the game clock and the Crusaders faced with a fourth down and 30 when sophomore quarterback hurled a “Hail Mary” pass down the right sidelines that senior right end Garrett Dickerson hauled in and continued racing into the end zone to stake BC to a 107 advantage with 47 seconds remaining on the game clock.

The Ironmen took the ensuing kickoff and drove down to field goal range where senior Cameron Baels split the uprights from 42 yards and sent the verdict to overtime. In the third and final OT session, Elijah Ibitokun-Hanks raced four

yards around the left end to give the Ironmen the “”W” and raise their record to 4-3 while the Crusaders dropped to 2-6 and now see their 24-year run of postseason playoff appearances in jeopardy.

One thing is for certain – Non-Public football in North Jersey ruled over Friendship Collegiate Academy (DC) this season as Paramus Catholic

completed the Garden State with a 41-14 rout on Saturday over the District of Columbia’s top program.

Bergen Catholic jumped out to a 27-6 advantage by intermission in defeating Friendship (DC) 27-8. Jarrett Guarantano flipped a 29-yard TD pass to Garrett Dickerson and Colin McGovern hooked up FOOTBALL continued on page 16

Ramsey’s Donnarumma, Sakiri Invited to USA Football Bowl

By Dennis Wilson Two Ramsey residents, one a running back at Bowdoin College in Maine and the other a Montclair State linebacker, have been invited to play in the 20th USA Football Bowl in Hoover, Alabama on January 20, 2014.

Zach Donnarumma, a senior running back for Bowdoin College, was selected the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) Offensive Player of the Week. He rushed for 136 yards on 29 carries and scored a key touchdown in the fi nal minute before halftime to give Bowdoin a 103 lead at the break in a win

over Tufts. It marked the seventh 100-yard rushing game of his career and he has been invited to participate in the USA Football Bowl, the third oldest senior all-star event behind the East-West Shrine Game and the Senior Bowl. It is recognized as the College Division event for FCS, NCAA Division II and III as well as NAIA football standouts.

Adnan Sakiri, the senior linebacker for Montclair State, was named the New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) Defensive Player of the Week.

In a 34-31 victory over Morris State (NY) on the road, he registered 20 tackles, seven of which were solo, and forced

A pair of north Jersey juniors, Dan Buonocore of Mahwah and Steven Wilken of Ringwood, who played for Lakeland Regional, had career days for Salve Regina, a NCAA Division III program situated in Newport, RI, as the duo spurred the Seahawks to a 42-8 rout of Maine Maritime on Saturday (November 2).

Wilken completed 21 of 31 passes for a career-best 347 yards, including three touchdown passes while Buonocore rushed for a game and careerbest 136 yards on 23 touches, including a touchdown run to open the game. The win improves the Seahawks to 6-2 overall and a perfect 5-0 in

the New England Football Conference.

When Kevin Gilmartin took the reins as head coach of the Salve Regina University football program on Tuesday, February 5, 2013, he inherited a talented group of juniors from Bob Chesney who became head coach at Division II Assumption College. The nucleus of the Class of 2015 is a contingent of eight student/athletes who played at Bergen and Passaic high schools, such as Buonocore and Wilken. The others are Paul Ciaravino (Wyckoff), John Gaffney (Mahwah), Paul Hurley (Park Ridge), Matthew Keyzer (Wanaque), Michael Mahoney (Mahwah) and Frank Murano (Carlstadt).

mpsey he word defines an a lot life, but om athfetime: mwork, erience to lose

“I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t quit.

Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion’.”

— Muhammad Ali I remember Reverend Vincent Keane, my high school principal, walking along the school hallways, and as he met up with you he would politely greet you, smile, slide the bridge of his glasses up from the tip of his nose, and softly say “persevere”, before continuing down the hallway. I never gave it much thought until years later. Life isn’t supposed to be easy; certainly not if you want to gain anything out of it. You get out of it what you put into it.

The trick is, as Prime Minister Churchill alluded — we must never, never, never give up.

“A champion is someone who gets up when he can’t.”

— Jack Dempsey If you are a high school athlete, you probably feel like the word “athlete”, or “sprinter”, or “swimmer”, or “linebacker”, etc… defines who you are. Competing and succeeding in your sport mean a lot to you. Realize that it is indeed an important part of your life, but not the only part. Be open to the lessons you can learn from athletic competition that will stay with you throughout your lifetime: the thrill of victory, the discipline of focused practice, teamwork, fair play, and the countless other life lessons you will experience in your athletic arena. Learn to win with humility, and learn to lose gracefully. Most of all…LEARN!

That expanded to a year-round training regimen that emphasized strength and power development, coupled with pre-season speed and in-season anaerobic conditioning. All the while, Lucas has maintained his focus on his studies. High school athletes, in particular, have to maintain a broad perspective.” Asserts Pire, “Excelling in their sport is great, but it must be balanced with social and academic growth. The lessons learned on the court often carry over to other areas of an athlete’s life. The goal is always to develop a well-rounded individual, not just an accomplished athlete.”

That’s one of my favorite Winston Churchill quotes. It implies that in life, we are never really “finished” trying to succeed, and that failure, as disappointing as it might be at times, doesn’t keep us from continuing to strive for success. In fact, if we learn from our failures, our chances of future success will improve. The thing you must do to succeed is to always continue to move forward, to do your very best. That is a key lesson learned early in life by so many competitive athletes.

Strength and Conditioning Can be the Deal Breaker for Young Athletes Contributed by Nunzio Signore (B.A., N.A.S.M, PES, CPT) owner Rockland Peak Performance

Aside from the obvious things a college coach or recruiter looks for when evaluating a ball player (arm strength, hitting power and defensive ability), one of the biggest deal breakers is a player’s size and body composition.

Size and body comp can go deep into projecting the future both performance-wise and health wise of a ball player.

College coaches also look at a player’s body type to determine what they’ll look like, and how well they’ll hold up to the tougher demands of a college strength program. Here at RPP we have developed a training program with both strength as well as mobility and stability training built into the program to ensure joint health. This can go a long way in preparing a player in the off season, as well as ensuring that they will finish as strong as they started during the season.

Looking at it from a younger perspective, we see parents come in to RPP and tell us

they want us to “make their kids faster” or tryouts are coming up and they want them to “make the team”. Once again strength training comes into play. I can’t tell you how many kids we have trained here that end up “making the team”, something that I feel comes from succeeding through a well developed strength and conditioning program. (Kids under 13 can still strength train as long as they’re using body weight as to not interfere with growth plate development).

Confidence and character also go a long way in displaying a stronger more biomechani-

cally (posture) sound body type. This weighs big in the first impression many coaches and recruiters get upon first glance at a prospect. Players with a sloppy body composition appear lazy and may not get a second look.

Getting athletes on a good strength and conditioning program will give young players a jump start on the competition as well as giving them the best opportunity to play at the next level. Here at RPP, we train many kids who already are or will be playing at the Division 1 level. They’re gifted and are meant to be there so that

makes our job a bit easier.

The true art in this profession is to take an athlete who may not have made the team last year and put him there this year.

The strength and conditioning programs at RPP start with a one-on-one body assessment, as well as a mini combine to track progress.

Our programs are also designed to maximize a player’s strengths as well as addressing his weaknesses and reducing their risk of injury.

GET YOUR COLLEGE APPLICANTS TO STAND OUT AMONG THE COMPETITION Contributed by Huntington Learning Center October 25, 2013 — In today’s world, most jobs require some form of post-secondary education. And while higher education is a necessity to achieve economic success, Laura Gehringer of Huntington Learning Center says that the reality is that college admissions remain competitive, despite some signs that both college enrollments and high school graduates have hit their peak: • According to the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center, college enrollments decreased 2.3 percent in spring 2013 as compared to spring 2012. This is a change from the previous decade marked by growing enrollments.

• High school graduates also

may be on the decline for the first time in many years. According to the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE), the class of 2011 is projected as the largest that the nation has produced, at 3.4 million. “That peak will mark the end of a 17-year run of continuous growth in the number of graduates, during which time graduating cohorts increased by an average of 2.2 percent annually,” the WICHE stated in their report, “Knocking at the College Door,” published in 2013.

(Visit http://huntingtonhelps. c om /re s ou r c e /a r t icle /m a ke college-achievable-and-affordable/ for more information.)

Dr. Raymond Huntington, chairman and founder of Huntington Learning Center, stated that there

is a quandary facing American students. “The country needs more skilled, educated workers, yet it is more competitive to get into college than ever before,” said Dr. Huntington, referring to the National Association for College Admission Counseling’s 2012 “State of College Admission” report, which claims that acceptance rates for four-year institutions declined from 69.6 percent in 2002 to 63.8 percent in 2011. “At a time when policymakers are working to make college more attainable, we don’t anticipate that competitiveness changing dramatically in the near future.”

Huntington Learning Center helps students every year do better in school—and stand out in a highly competitive college admissions

landscape. “The reality is that high school graduates who want to go to college today must attempt to stand out from the masses,” said Gehringer. “The best way to do this is to achieve the best high school GPA possible, take the most challenging curriculum one can handle, and do one’s best on college admissions exams. Those things, after all, are among the top factors that colleges consider.”

Huntington offers tutoring services for students from kindergarten through 12th grade as well as college entrance exam preparatory services. To learn more, contact Laura Gehringer of Huntington Learning Center at (201) 261-8400 or gehringerl@hlcmail. com or visit www.huntington helps.com.

Dirty Dozen Exercises: Move #7, The Kettlebell Clean Contributed by Phil Ross

Once they have the idea that the Clean is identical to the swing at the start point, exhale and hip movement, the Clean becomes easier to perform.

Pay particular attention to the breathing aspect. The breath of the Clean occurs at the exact point as your exhale while performing the Swing — at the top of the hip motion when your knee caps are drawn into you quads and your legs are locked.

The sharp exhale does not occur when the Kettlebells are in the Rack, it happens slightly before. This simple tip will significantly reduce the amount of “smashing” that occurs on your wrists.

At this point, the top of the Swing portion of the clean, you stop pulling and allow the Kettlebells to “float” into position. The float will occur only when your breath is timed correctly and you allow the bells to achieve the Rack position without using your arms to pull.

If you find that you are “curling” the bell during your Cleans, use a heavier bell. This will cure many issues because you will not be able to “curl” a heavier bell into position. Once your technique improves, you should be able to execute proper form of your Cleans with any sized bell. For one to attain mastery of the Clean, the technique should look identical, regardless of the size of the Kettlebell.

There are also several extremely beneficial variations of the Clean. Alternating Cleans provide an incredible core work-

out, Bottoms-up Clean and Hold are one of the best grip development exercises available. Have Cleans as part of any Chain or Complex for a transitory or additional movement to enhance the circuit.

The Kettlebell Clean is often overlooked as an essential exercise because it lacks the “sexiness” of the Swing and Snatch, the power of the Squat and Press and it does not stimulate the intrigue of the Turkish Get-up. However, couple your Swings with Cleans or perform a chain with a Swing, a Clean and a Snatch and you’ll have some great routines. Also, if you want to perform your Presses and Squats, how will you get your Kettlebells into the Racked position? You got it, The Kettlebell Clean.

In all of its simplicity, the Clean is more often performed incorrectly. This results in bruised wrists, strained biceps, elbows or forearms as well a faulty rack incapable of providing a stable starting point for your Press or Squat. Also, casting of the Kettlebell on the decent will place undue stress on the low back and possibly result in a face-plant!

Simply put, a Clean is nothing more than a Swing with your elbows pinned to your sides.

There is no jerking up into the position, nor is there a “curling” of the bell into the rack (try to use that method to rack the Beast and let me know how many pieces you shred your bicep into). I have also found that teaching people how to Clean two kettlebells at once is easier. The students don’t have to be concerned with over rotating one hip and they are also psyched about using two Kettlebells at the same time.

DANGERS OF CONCUSSIONS: Tough Decisions for Sports Parents Whose Kids Want to Play Contact Sports

By Rick Wolff In light of the tremendous PBS/Frontline show on concussions that aired last week, I thought it was appropriate to once again ask the question of sports parents: In light of what we now know about the dangers of concussions, what are you going to advise when your youngster wants to sign up for youth tackle football…. or ice hockey…or soccer…or any other contact sport?”

Steve Kallas was my guest radio guest, and of all the thoughtful insights he had, I thought he pinpointed the issue quite succinctly when he paraphrased NFL Hall of Famer Harry Carson who offered that — and I’m paraphrasing here — “that parents know that their kids run the risk of a serious knee injury when they sign up for football, but nowhere until now have parents had to be aware that kids also run the risk of serious longterm brain damage or even death from concussions.”

It’s scary stuff. And even worse, parents today don’t really have any roadmaps on this one. It’s really unchartered territory.

Below, I have tried to present some of the highlights from the Frontline show, as well as from some of the other radio

shows I have done with Chris Nowinski, Dr. Robert Cantu, Steve Kallas, Doug Abrams, and others on concussions: NO FOOTBALL HELMET OF ANY KIND CAN PREVENT A CONCUSSION. This comes directly from Dr. Cantu, who insists that despite all the new models being introduce onto the market, no helmet can prevent concussions. That’s something all parents need to understand.

THE BEST HELMETS CARRY A SOBERING WARNING. Look at your kid’s football helmet. Most feature fine print on the back of the helmet which warns players that “playing football can lead to serious injury including paralysis or death, and if you don’t want to risk that, then don’t play football.”

I’m paraphrasing here, but that is pretty close to the message that’s posted. Not exactly reassuring to a kid playing football.

INSURANCE PREMIUMS ARE GOING TO SKYROCKET. As insurance companies begin to realize that concussion claims are only going to rise dramatically, they are going to start raising their premiums. At some point, local HS football teams won’t be able to handle those costs, and will try to pass them along to the parents. Don’t be surprised if

TEXT: 4 everfit TO: 28748

parents balk at this. Or, HS will ask parents to sign a waiver of liability.

The point is, it won’t be long until you see more and more HS begin to give up on football programs as it’s just too expensive from an insurance perspective.

EVEN YOUNG KIDS ARE VULNERABLE. As one caller pointed out, there are already medical studies out there which show that kids under the age of 12 who play tackle football are vulnerable to repeated hits.

And it’s the repeated hits to the head, even if they seem minor to a parent, which can cause real trouble down the line.

This is one reason why Dr. Cantu suggests that if kids DO decide to play football, they should wait until they are at least 14 years old.

IT’S JUST NOT THE NFL. In discussing with Steve, we tried to dismiss the myth that parents have that it’s only the NFL players who suffer dementia or death from concussions. We pointed to two young people — Owen Thomas, a lineman from the Univ of Penn, who killed himself while still in college.

AN autopsy on the kid showed CTE, which is solid evidence of brain damage, even though he had never been depressed or complained of a concussion.

And then there was Eric Pelly, an 18-year-old from Pitts-

burgh, who played football, ice hockey, and rugby. He had endured a few concussions from those sports, but it was after suffering a serious concussion playing rugby in his senior year in HS that he died from his head injury.

And don’t forget from the world of ice hockey. Pat LaFontaine had to stop playing in the NHL because of serious concussions. Same with Eric Lindros, just to name two top players.

BOTTOM LINE: These are difficult times for parents to help guide their kids through contact sports. Concussions need to be taken seriously.

Parents and coaches, you need to sit down and think this through carefully.
