Concussion - or what is now known as - Traumatic Brain Injury.
This was an emotional and eye opening evening at the Big Rugby Debate.
Long gone are the days where symptoms would be laughed off and ignored. The long term health implications are now clear.
kindly talked about their experiences as players.
I was proud to be attending with the top team and as they discussed the pro’s and cons of contact sport with Professor Damian Bailey.
The event was expertly hosted by author of Concussed - Sam Peters who triggered fascinating and thought provoking discussions amongst the panelist’s.
Thanks to all for such a phenomenal event. I hope to be part of the change where concussion is managed properly and safely from grass roots to the elite level.
