    This document discusses common football injuries such as ankle sprains, concussions, muscle pulls, shoulder dislocations, and knee tears. It examines why injuries occur, including poor weight training, mal-nutrition, inexperience, the physical nature of the game, and improper equipment. Injuries increase when muscles, tissues, and tendons are weak from lack of training or an unhealthy diet. Faster, heavier players and impacts carry greater momentum and risk of injury. Proper fitting and well-maintained equipment can help prevent broken bones and damaged muscles.
