The risk of sustaining a serious brain injury in contact sports is well documents. Several organizations including the NFL and the NCAA have taken steps to prevent brain injury in recent years, though these steps have only come on the heels of lawsuits from former players. But it is not traditional contact sports alone that pose risk for brain injury. In fact, a recent report indicates sports including soccer may also place players at increased risk.
