I would say : “Sports are awesome for your body and your brain, but it’s super important to stay safe. Always wear the right gear, like helmets or shin guards, and make sure you warm up properly before practice. Listen to your body — if you feel dizzy, really tired, or hit your head, don’t try to push through it. Tell your coach or a parent right away. And remember, playing on a team is fun, but your health always comes first. It’s better to sit one game out than risk a serious injury that could last a long time.”

I’d ask :
“Have you ever had a concussion or hit your head really hard while playing sports?”
“Do you have any injuries right now or something that makes it hard to move?”
“How do you usually feel after practice : tired, dizzy, or completely fine?”
“Do you feel comfortable telling your coach or teammates if you’re hurt?”
“What sports do you enjoy the most, and how often do you play?”
