Head Games
Football’s concussion crisis
By Christopher Nowinski ~ 2007
Every parent, coach, athletic trainer and athlete should read this book to understand the full impact of concussion in sports. A former Harvard football player and professional wrestler, his career was ended by multiple concussions that left him struggling to get through the day. His compelling writing style intertwines his personal experience with interview findings from national experts on the treatment of post concussion syndrome.
He debunks the common myths and misunderstandings about the effects and extent of concussion in our youth, high school, college and even professional sports. He clearly explains the inherent risks of cerebral concussions in contact sports and the measures that would improve their identification and prevent complications. While he presents the most recent studies and medical advances in identifying and treating the symptoms of concussion, he also exposes the attitudes among athletes and coaches that contribute to endangering our athletes.
