Luke speaks with Dr Adrian Cohen, Concussion researcher & advocate at NuroSafe, for his opinion on why so many sports don’t do enough to address head injuries.

“Every time one sport has a concussion issue, another pops up. Like the old fairground game ‘whack-a-mole’.”

“Surprisingly appropriate, given it’s all about hitting (animals) in the head.”
