Guardian Caps: Is this Just the Beginning of a New Safety Measure?
Sep 20, 2022 Episode 53
Jason Davis

In Episode #53, I have a follow up discussion with Dr. Julie Stamm, Ph. D concerning concussions, how parents, coaches and players alike can recognize a possible concussion and what the next step would be. Dr. Stamm and I also delve deeper into the concussion issue as we discuss the efficacy of the Guardian Caps that were being worn by NFL players (only at certain positions) during training camp. We discuss why it took the NFL so long to introduce the Guardian Caps, even though they've been around for approximately 12 years, and are being worn on the high school and college level.  Dr. Stamm offers her expertise advice and knowledge, surrounding this continuously controversial topic, in a thoughtful, understanding and compassionate manner. She also stresses that she loves the game of football and wants kids to be able to play the sport, but in a more safe and protective manner.

In the end, I offer my 'Three Takeaways' from this episode. Please listen in to this very insightful and educational episode.
