Product Description
Why do so many retired NFL players lose their hard-earned millions and end up destitute? Why are football players three to five times more likely to develop major depression than their fans? The answer is gridiron dementia, permanent brain damage caused by blows to the head during games or practice. In this book the author launches a national effort to alert players, parents, coaches, trainers, and school administrators to the dangers of repeated concussions.

Play Hard, Die Young: Football Dementia, Depression and Death October 2, 2008
Describes how long-lasting and subtle a concussion can be. This book sheds light on a subject that stumped 4 medical doctors - they just gave up on my wife after she has been struggling with post-concussion syndrome for over two years. We have recommended it to our friends who have teenagers playing competitve sports and some of them have had concussoins.
