There is no question that head injury is the number one issue in sport today. As a researcher, I know all too well how important it is to prevent these types of injury. Concussed! Is a real look at what we are up against and helps guide us through the journey of a concussion. - Dr. William Montelpare, University of Leeds, England, and Lakehead University, Ontario, Canada
