They challenge the growing market of products and technologies promoted as concussion solutions and explain why reducing impact at the surface is not the same as protecting the brain inside the skull.This conversation digs into Guardian Caps, youth football, practice contact, concussion risk, repeated head impacts, CTE, traumatic brain injury, and the dangerous false sense of security that can come from gear marketed as “safer.” Paul and Corey also discuss why limiting contact in practice, delaying exposure to concussive sports, and educating parents and coaches may matter more than expensive add-ons.If you are a parent, coach, athlete, caregiver, veteran, or someone concerned about brain health, TBI, CTE, concussion prevention, and repeated head impacts, this is a conversation you need to hear.Supported by: Patrick Risha CTE Awareness Foundation | Millennium Health Centers | Millennium Health Store | Paradise Behavioral Health | McWellness – Cristal Clark#HeadRushPodcast #CTEAwareness #ConcussionAwareness #BrainHealth #TBI #YouthSports #FootballSafety #HeadInjury #AthleteSafety #ProtectTheBrain #SportsSafety #ConcussionPrevention #BrainTrauma #GuardianCaps #ContactSports #ParentsOfAthletes","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/8iQQL0pmbn9GDogaSYtu8cBlDkudJEnQSkDfg0pDXyU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wNDhj/ZjEwNThkMWZhMzQ3/MTZlMzA0MDIxZTk5/ZDAxYy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
