From Washington to Quebec, from offices at the NFL to the New York Times, from the NHL playersā union to the soccer fields of Anytown, U.S.A., people are talking about concussions. At the center of this crisisāand one of the key reasons for this increased awarenessāis Dr. Robert Cantu, the countryās leading expert on athletic brain trauma and a pioneer in the study of the link between concussions and progressive brain disease in athletes.
Concussions and Our Kids is the first prescriptive book of its kind to address the issue of head trauma in sports and to offer guidelines for playing sports safely. Described as āthe single most important issue in sports today,ā concussions are widespread and devastating. Dr. Cantu has treated thousands of patients, from pro athletes to peewee players, and his groundbreaking research is changing how sports are played. Parents, coaches, and players can learn from this combination manifesto/manual, helping to reduce concussions now and prevent more brain trauma down the road.
