@HITSS_BU Study (HITSS) @bu_cte, which I am proud to work on, was developed to answer those questions & more. ANYONE age 40+ who played ⚽️ at ANY level - youth, high school, college or pro - can help us find those answers by taking our online survey at https://t.co/QT1jHSPv3H.

As a soccer parent working in sports brain health research, I am asked many times my thoughts on heading. Here's a well-written summary by ⁦⁦@GretchenReynold⁩ ⁦@washingtonpost⁩ of what the research has shown so far. ⚽️🧠 https://t.co/kdkDHPwDz4

[Matt Roebuck @MattJRoebuck]

One important note to point out, there are several questions posed in the piece, similar to the ones I get frequently: "Is there...a “safe” amount [of headers]? Is heading 4x [safer than] 5x? Are the risks different for male and female players, or for rec athletes versus elites?"

“The beautiful game, our health, and the health of our next generation of soccer players demands our attention.”

Great article on why HITSS, and participation in the research, is needed. Thank you @GregOldfield21

AUDIO: It's #SuperBowl week. With that in mind, researchers in Boston say they've found the brain disease #CTE in 92% of the former #NFL players they've studied so far. That's staggering. I spoke with the director of @bu_cte, @annmckeemd, on @wcbs880. https://t.co/GwgMDhhqLc

@HaleyRosen I can say as a girl dad (13/10) who spent 20 years in pro sports, I love that my 2 have so many smart, fearless, inspiring women who happen to be good at sports that they can aspire to “be” like & also recognize that women/girls belong in sports.

@Swanee54 I always took you for a real-tree guy. But I guess when it goes up before the end of the World Series, probably not possible.
