Is a child you know active in youth sports? If so, please watch the video below and share it with their parents. It may save a kid’s life. To read the full blog, visit this link: cussys.org/blog/five-life… Three Alarming Possible Outcomes of Sports Concussions:

This is horrible on so many levels for youth athletes. The negative impacts on the brain from head trauma start early and are cumulative. #youthsports #concussion

Youth football coaches. Please stop this. Now. Kids aren’t making the NFL doing these drills at this age. If you don’t want your sport to continue to lose participants each year, we need to change our approach to youth football.

Choose Flag Football Under 14.



Did you know concussions can cause long-term anxiety & depression? 2 people who know this well are @MendelsohnSeth and Ryan Sutton, founders of @headsupcan_ After experiencing mental health struggles from TBI, they created a support community. Read here: cussys.org/blog/why-two-f…

Diagnosed with Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS)? Take the first step in your recovery by finding the right treatment for your symptoms. Learn how in this video from Dr. Robert Cantu: youtube.com/watch?v=huO516…

“You’ve got your entire life ahead of you and anything that can lessen the risks should be looked at." After a recent #concussion, @TheMatildas star @stephcatley spoke out about how heading in youth soccer should be minimized. theworldgame.sbs.com.au/it-feels-like-…


Very informative thread. It is not just football that can cause long term issues.


One of our goals at CUSSYS is to build outlets and communities for anyone dealing with any sort of head and brain injury. Visit our forums to connect with others who are experiencing the same things. cussys.forumotion.com

We worked with @TED_ED to create this amazing video which explains: -What happens in the brain during a #concussion. -The symptoms of Post-Concussion Syndrome. -How repeated hits over time can cause #CTE. Watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=xvjK-4…


A must read for anyone who thinks that new helmets are going to solve the concussion crisis in football, let alone the CTE crisis. qz.com/1084348/the-nf….

Athletes crashing at 80+ mph inevitably causes brain injuries. Yet winter sliding sports (bobsledding, luge, skeleton) have never looked into the long-term effects. After multiple Olympians have died by suicide, a day of reckoning may be coming.

Britain has little ice but has enjoyed extraordinary success in skeleton. Ellie Furneaux looked like the country's next golden girl in the sport. Then the brain injuries started.nyti.ms/3kQ6MWx by @mattfutterman

Trayvon Mullen collapsed moments after a hard hit to his helmet. It looked like a sign of #concussion to me. He returned minutes later. How? What else could cause this collapse but be safe to play through? @NFL has made strides on concussion but this warrants an explanation.

Former NFL offensive lineman and current ESPN personality Damien Woody said it best. "We're gladiators, but were human beings."

Some great work being done by these individuals! This needs to be the norm around all of youth sports. princegeorgecitizen.com/sports/concuss…

What's going on in Ireland? New study of Gaelic Football finds 88.6% #concussion assessments were under 2 min in duration. A medical professional needs at least 8-10 minutes to conduct even a rudimentary concussion examination. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32997230/
