Mark Tullius: Navigating Life After a Sports Brain Injury
The biggest thing for me, the first step was I heard Joe Rogan's podcast with dr. He said he played from like Five Years Old through college, and then even after that, and he said throughout training, you know, you're throwing the ball at each other and you're hitting it with your head.
