The brain on youth sports : The science, the myths, and the future / by Stamm, Julie M.,1987-author.;
A 2022 Choice Reviews Outstanding Academic Title Dispels the myths surrounding head impacts in youth sports and empowers parents to make informed decisions about sports participation "They're just little kids, they don't hit that hard or that much." "Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) only happens to former NFL players." "Youth sports are safer than ever." These are all myths which, if believed, put young, rapidly maturing brains at risk each season. In The Brain on Youth Sports: The Science, the Myths, and the Future, Julie M. Stamm dissects the issue of repetitive brain trauma in youth sports and their health consequences, explaining the science behind impacts to the head in an easy-to-understand approach. Stamm counters the myths, weak arguments, and propaganda surrounding the youth sports industry, providing guidance for those deciding whether their child should play certain high-risk sports as well as for those hoping to make youth sports as safe as possible. Stamm, a former three-sport athlete herself, understands the many wonderful benefits that come from playing youth sports and believes all children should have the opportunity to compete--without the risk of long-term consequences.Description based on print version record.Electronic reproduction.

The brain on youth sports : the science, the myths, and the future / by Stamm, Julie M.,1987-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.In The Brain on Youth Sports, Julie Stamm dissects the issue of repetitive brain trauma in youth sports, clearly explaining the science behind concussions, CTE, and subconcussive impacts. It's not all about concussions. Repetitive impacts that happen with every soccer header or football tackle can damage the brain, too. The consequences can be even worse for a child's developing brain. Stamm counters the myths, bad arguments, and propaganda around youth contact sports and offers guidance for parents of athletes and those hoping to make sports safer for everyone. Stamm, a former athlete herself, understands the many wonderful benefits that come from playing youth sports and believes all children should have the opportunity to play without the risk of long-term consequences. No athlete has to sustain hundreds of impacts and repetitive brain trauma in order to gain the benefits of sports. This work is a must-read before you suit up your child for another practice or send your team out for another game. --
