[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People have been arguing that there are actually more injuries and concussions in soccer than other sports for a little while now.

But assuming OP is talking about this person:
https://sports.yahoo.com/cte-diagnosed-in-professional-female-athlete-for-first-time-154706253.html

It looks like they also played other sports other than soccer, specifically rugby.

So the CTE for that person may not have come from playing soccer alone.  I'm not saying that it can't happen in soccer and I do have a concern about players not being taught how to head a ball properly.  But I don't think the OP's subject line paints the picture accurately if it's the same person.[/quote]

previous poster, sorry I tries searching more and came across this article:
https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/28/health/cte-younger-athletes/index.html

and it does mention a 28 year old american soccer player.  So my previous post was incorrect and the previous link was indeed to a different person than what the OP was referring to.[/quote]
