Tune in to neurosurgeon Robert Cantu, America's leading expert on athletic brain trauma. Together with sports journalist Mark Hyman, Cantu co-authored Concussions and Our Kids, a book that explains what head trauma is, why it has gained national attention, and why some youth sports practices must change.
As a pioneer in the study linking concussions and progressive brain disease in athletes, Cantu has treated thousands of brain trauma patients, from professional athletes to young boys and girls. He lists preventive solutions that can protect athletes and offers guidelines to increase sports safety.
This book is a must-read for parents, coaches, players, and anyone interested in the safety and future of young athletes.
