I got a concussion from Boxing and for about 6 months I would get the wildest mood swings it was terrible so I can't imagine what a career football player goes through. It sounds stupid but I didn't really realize how bad head trauma can be. I was taking punches to the face with no issue but my brain function was slowly deteriorating. Prior to the concussion, I would get the worst brain fog that would have me unable to add new thoughts or absorb material.


Then after one real hard spar 100% strength, my brain had enough and I was in serious pain and started slurring my words and would be super tired by 12PM in the day. If I took a fast turn in my car my attitude would change immediately and I'd be in a rage for absolutely no reason. My vision would pixelate...I would get mind piercing migraines...the NFL is covering up what these athletes are experiencing. I absolutely love fighting but had to give it up because I already have reduce mental faculties and don't want it to get worse.
