CTE can be fatal—how early does it actually start?
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, or CTE, is a fatal degenerative brain disease found in people who experience repeated head trauma. As research on the disease has developed, it’s become a major concern for professional-level contact sport athletes.

We talk to an expert on head injuries in youth sports about the significance of the study and how we can prevent CTE in young athletes.
