COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Insightful submitted by popsiclefroyo1 on June 19, 2014, 12:15pm This was a good documentary. It was quite insightful. I'd recommend it to any athlete, coach, or parent of an athlete. It shows you how concussions are truly defined and how sports perceive their own ideas of what a concussion is and how to deal with it.
