Athletes career end because of a con sugs cushion. It happened to steve young. There was a burial helmet hit. That hit was recorded by a special mount guard like this. The zeatd being included in Research Conducted by 49er medical director dan garza and Research Assistant at stanford university. They showed me some head Impact Research from a different player during a game. They are pointing not necessarily where they are hit but where the acceleration. The n. F. L. Is planning a tenyear study on the consequences of repeated head injuries. We want to have a way to understand how to measure the impacts that occur, not just from the concussions that you see happening, but from what we call the sub concussive events. Cheryl the doctor is chair of Neurology Department at ucsf and Advisory Committee to the n. F. L. He is working with john york coowner of the 49ers who was on the safety committee. They the tell me the n. F. L. Is getting closer to find the best way to Gather Research on impacts to the brain, mouth guard sensors like this or helmets with sensors. I think we may have the ability to put those into helmets or into mouth guards at the beginning of next season. Its such a weird injury. You are not sure. I think im okay. The brain sits in a pool of fluid. So if you move the cranium quickly the brain is going rotate and move as well. Cheryl the doctor says using mouth guards it could apply to a lot of sports. There is soccer, lacrosse and field hockey and women sports. Cheryl its such a big issue. Joining us is sports anchor is mike shumann. I have former oakland raider safety and he has been through this. Lets start out how many concussions did you have while you played . More than i can count. That is part of the game. Any kind of blind spotted or tingle is officially a concussion. You didnt think it was a concussion unless you got knocked out. Everybody thought the same thing . I felt like that until two years ago. I thought ive been knocked out twice. That is like the worst concussion you can get. If you are getting hit in the head and seeing stars or colors, that is concussion. Cheryl how does it affect you right now . Lord, that is why i retired. Ive been working with the n. F. L. Through different programs through a Transitional Program weve got going that pays for everything. Treatment doesnt show up on the insurance but its very expensive. It takes a lot of time. You have to dedicate yourself to. I lost a lot of weight when i first went through it. It was bad. I had to move my mom from east coast to west coast because i was in and out of the hospital because i couldnt eat. Longest migraine i had was 31 days. I was in the hospital twice during that period of time. I had no idea what was going on, no clue. Then i dont know what is going on. I need help. The next day they had me at ucsf and i something called d. A. T. Treatment. Migraines ended your career prematurely. You have all the post concussive syndromes, memory loss. We havent even got to that. You said you stayed to bed five days a time. Junior seau, he kills himself. Were you ever at that point, suicidal thoughts are part of this . Im on the good side now. I can sit and tell you, yes. Its very taxing. I went from being this elite athlete being in bed not being able to feed myself. The concussion is every day. Its kind, how am i going to feel today. It got to the point, i cant live like this. I dont my family or friends. It was not the life i wanted to be. That is something, i need some help. Cheryl do you talk to them . Yes. All the time. Like i say im in a good spot. I talk to the guys, i send text messages. Its a huge amount of people in the n. F. L. You know there is a small group of people and get your medical records and go to the doctor. You have to. Ive been there. Some guys, for me sometimes happens later in life. For me it happened right when i retired that cause need to retire. I know couple guys they are getting the migraines, depressed not going to work, im telling you this is what is happening. That is why i can tell you, it wasnt good. I feel blessed i can help these guys. I want to help them because there is help to be had. That is what i did not know. I probably should have gotten help year, two years earlier. Before we let you go, they the are trying to make the game safer. You couldnt play today but with the shoulders and trying to make the game safer which is a good start. H. I could not play football today. All the new rules eliminate cooper from playing.
