Abstract
Sports-related concussions (SRC) cause emotional and cognitive impacts. Among a sample of collegiate athletes, it was found that SRC correlated to greater academic difficulty and anxiety. Athletes that reported lower grades also reported more concussions. More research is needed to understand how institutions can support student-athletes who sustain an SRC.
