I have fond memories of Super Bowl 49, when Arizona last hosted. I served as UNC with my @BarrowNeuro colleague Taro Kaibara.

Domestic violence survivors often live in the shadows. They rarely have the support, money and resources needed to get help for their TBIs. We're honored to offer a pioneering program that is changing that narrative.
The Barrow Concussion & Brain Injury Center participated in #WearPurpleDay to raise awareness about #domesticviolence. The Center is home to a unique program that identifies & treats individuals w/ #traumaticbraininjuries caused by domestic abuse. #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth

Rule changes and style of play make a difference!: #Concussions were reduced by 28% at the 2019 Rugby World Cup compared with the 2018. There were 74% more yellow cards and 138% more red cards at the tournament than in 2018. bbc.com/sport/rugby-union/51…

Just how serious is this prank?: 'Skull Breaker Challenge' Causes Teen To Suffer #Concussion and Seizure. The pranksters have been charged with assault! cbsloc.al/2Ilu1qI#.XmD9KprLg…

This message from @LAFDtalk needs to be shared. The "prank" that is all over social media can have longterm health impacts for those targeted.
The⚠️#SkullbreakerChallenge⚠️ is an extremely dangerous prank that has gone viral. It involves tricking someone into jumping, and then kicking their legs out from beneath them. It could easily cause lifelong injury or death. Talk To Your Kids!

I'm seeing a positive trend recently: pro and college athletes speaking freely about mental health issues. Much of what happens on and off the field has to do with mental health.

Whether it is anxiety just before game time or depression after a loss, our mental health can have a significant impact on our physical state and performance. When athletes speak up, others listen.
