Following on from my meetings in Paris, I flew down to Barcelona & switching sports to soccer, spent a day watching training at FC Barcelona. Accompanied by both a player (Brett Crompton) & a coach (Mikel Touzón) I worked with in Thailand, we spent time with the U19 (recently...

Throughout my career as a physiotherapist immersed in elite sport, I have worked in several contact sports where head trauma is commonplace, including rugby, American football, lacrosse & football. Others of the sports in which I have been involved, demonstrate a less common...
