Eugene Monroe recently announced his retirement from the NFL, citing his fear of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy as the reason. Monroe's concern is justified; this progressive degenerative disease of the brain was found in 90% of former NFL players whose brains were tested after they died.
The father of three sports-oriented kids, Eugene is passionate about helping to reduce the 3.5 million accidents that occur each year to kids playing sports. His new book, Youth Sports: Start Here, co-authored with Dr. Julie Buckley, empowers parents to help kids prevent many of these injuries, as well as recognize signs of an injury when it's not obvious. {Book provided for review/feature consideration}
