[quote=Anonymous]Does it change my thoughts on soccer player and my kids? No. Son is college freshman and daughter is HS soph. Son is played throughout HS and just pickup now. Daughter is playing ECNL now. About CTE. I believe that we are just scratching the surface in the research and understanding to how this impacts athletes throughout their lives - far from understanding why some are impacted by it and others are not. Many footballers (both American and Soccer) and other sports have not been impacted and live long and productive post-playing career lives. Tragic situations with Mike Webster, Junior Seau, Chris Henry in football, Bob Probert, Derek Boogaard in hockey, and many others too. Very concerned that the article references 20 concussions - where those all confirmed or suspected? That's awful either way. Also, today, CTE can be confirmed only after death as well which is tough. I am correct, article was originally published in 2017 as well?[/quote]
