Youth tackle football is a lot like smoking.
The longer you do it, the greater the danger.

Over time, a child’s risk ofdeveloping CTE from tacklemay add up
faster than a smoker’s risk of developing lung cancer.
Starting younger only increases the risk.
 

What is CTE?

What is CTE?

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a progressive brain disease that
can cause problems with mood, behavior, thinking, and memory.
It may lead todementia or eventual death.

How does tackle
cause CTE?

CTE is triggered by repeated hits to the head.

Every hit, big or small, causes the brain to move violently inside the skull.
This movement can damage the brain, and it isnot stopped by a helmet.
Over time, those repeated hits can spark the disease.
