Sports and Brain Injury

Learn about the risks of brain damage from youth sports, and what can be done to protect our young athletes. Dr. Robbins launched a public awareness campaign in December 2012 to warn people that despite the many benefits of youth sports, we are increasingly learning about the headaches, memory problems, and other health impacts being inflicted on young people.

Football Head Injury

Learn about the risks of brain damage from youth tackle football, and what can be done to protect our young athletes. Dr. Robbins launched a public awareness campaign in December 2012 to warn people that despite the sport’s many benefits, we are increasingly learning about the headaches, memory problems, and other health impacts being inflicted on young people by tackle football. 

Ban Tackle Football Under Age 12

Children should just play flag or touch football until at least age 12. The evidence is compelling that early exposure to tackle football may permanently harm the brain.  Intuitively, it’s just not a terrific idea for a child to use his head as a battering ram.
