482: Kids Brains on Sports with Dr. Julie Stamm

482: Kids Brains on Sports with Dr. Julie Stamm

When I was 11 years old, I face-planted snow sledding and gave myself two black eyes and a slight concussion. I remember being sleepy, dizzy, and struggling to concentrate for a few days. Luckily, I only whacked my head like that a couple times growing up, but some teenagers do it every day during sports practice.

What do contact sports do long term to our brains? At what age are we responsible enough to make a decision about putting our brains in harm's way? On this week's podcast, author and PhD researcher, Julie Stamm shares her best plan for the future of brian-safe sports.

  • TBI vs. Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE)
  • Age limits, contact limits, and best practices
  • How to shift a gladiator culture - and should we?
