Great segment on last night’s (Thursday) NBC News about concussions in youth sports. We know that multiple concussions are especially dangerous, even more so when they occur in young brains. Lead researchers are now saying that tackle football should not be started until 14 yrs of age (reasons: young brains are more susceptible to injury, and youth coaches are often times poorly trained) and ‘heading’ in girls’ soccer should be outlawed.

You have only one brain….take good care of it!
