…and you won’t go wrong picking up a copy of former Prez of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Gay Culverhouse’s wonderful new book, Throwaway Players: The Concussion Crisis From Pee Wee Football to the NFL.
Concussions just aren’t for the big boys with hamhocks for hands – they happen to anyone who plays a sport. What’s more, is a concussion isn’t something you “walk off” or “get over it.” It can res-cramble your brain and affect the rest of your life. Gay’s book is for parents who have kids in sports, and for anyone who plays a sport. You need to know about what goes into making decisions for buying equipment for PeeWee, high school, and colleges. You’d be amazed.
Gay has a wonderful interview and review from Brooke de Lench, who has a fabulous site Mom’s Team.
Pick up a copy of this thought-provoking books today.
My 14 yr old got a mild concussion on the first day of footbal practice last year. I will read this book.
I read Brooke’s review. The part about early-onset Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and dementia among football players was chilling.
