[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi, it's  Ms. "I understand physics, I understand concussions and I understand CTE is a real problem. I just don't want some mom freaking out because their 5 year old hit the ball with their head."

I am sorry your child has years of neuro-rehab at a clinic run by researchers of national importance but your child is not in this condition due to heading the ball as a youth soccer player.

I work with local researchers at NIH and CH, heading the ball in youth sports has 0 risk unless you hit heads with the other person trying to head the ball.

So how about a child being hit on the back of the head with an open palm by an adult, hard enough for the child to lose vision for a few seconds? (I know someone responded to this already but it was not clear if they were knowledgeable about the subject or just throwing in their two cents.)[/quote]

I actually commented on that in my original post though not directly. CTE has been found in child abuse. The strength of the hit and the amount would matter. But it is usually due to a shaken baby like action.[/quote]
