I’m started a project photographing rugby players suffering with early onset Dementia, I’m looking for players across the UK to take part in the project which will raise money for @Head4Change
Please DM if interested ��
It’s that time of year again 🏉😃
Remember, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with wearing or wanting your child to wear headgear to play rugby.
Just know the facts.
Headgear provides protection against cuts and abrasions ✅
But do not provide protection against concussion ❌
“We found that for each additional 10,000 Gs, the odds of developing CTE increased by 20 percent,”
Look forward to this research being published to learn more about the study and it’s findings.

Truly awful news about the death of Scottish MTB rider Rab Wardell, we are in shock. A colleague & great friend to many of us at the 2023 UCI Cycling Worlds, he will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
Our thoughts are with his friends & family at this time. Rest easy, Rab 🙏🏽
What absolutely horrendous news.
An absolute gentleman and an incredible bike rider. Lost for words, might be quite for a few days.

We would like to extend the below message to others across a range of sports such as MTB, Road Cycling, Skiing & horse riding to name a few.
In order to remove an athlete we all need to know the signs and symptoms of a concussion/ brain injury / head impact.

Involved in Rugby as a Coach, PE Teacher, Player or Parent.
Have you had that chat re Signs & Symptoms of Concussion/Brain Injury.
You wouldn’t let somebody try to play on with a broken leg.
Never let anyone play on with a suspected broken brain.

Some symptoms from a brain injury / concussion / TBI can last for weeks and months after the impact.
Hear from a mother who's son suffered a head impact and how it took 6 months to feel okay again.

Changing the game!
Athletes helping to drive the decision making within their NGB's by lobbying the government into change.
Speak up. Use your voice. Advocate.
We hope to do something similar within concussion, TBI's in Sport.
#ProtectYourNoggin
We believe that sport and physical activity is a fundamental right for all children. That’s why the Commonwealth Games men’s and women’s hockey teams have written to the future Prime Minister for their support.

Even though concussion is a head injury, it’s not always caused by a direct blow to the head.
The truth is, a concussion can be caused from a blow to anywhere on the body if the force of the impact is transmitted to the head.
#BrainInjuryAwareness
One of the main reasons why HIT is the perfect indicator tool to help people recognise when they have suffered a large impact.
In particular grassroots sports not having access to medical support personnel.
#BrainHealthInSport 🧠
Perhaps nothing represents society's failure to educate people on the life-changing consequences of traumatic brain injuries than hundreds of people racing bicycles downhill on the icy surface of a glacier.
