The World Cup and TBI

By Geoffrey B.

Hello sports fans!  If you have been watching the World Cup, that is great! If they keep butting their heads though they might be coming to join The Denbigh House real soon because of the concussions!  There are more and more player's getting hit on the head and it is effecting their brain.  Some of the soccer balls are going 50 miles per hour.  So when one of the soccer player's head butts a ball 30 or more times there will be mild brain changes and memory impairment.  Now with a concussion, it is even worse.  During their career, the player's go through EEG's, CAT Scans and MRI's the doctor's see minor physical changes.  When the player's career is over and see the doctor's again, the athletes have trauma and memory malfunctions from getting hit from all the soccer balls.  It is a good time to talk about this so if you need more information click on concussions. Thank you!
