Insight: Oct 8

Tonight on Insight host Jenny Brockie hears about “Footy Concussions” and the serious neurological problems in Sport.

Insight talks to these players and finds out what the science is saying about long-term impacts of concussion.

Guests: John Barnes, Ray Price, Assoc. Prof. Alan Pearce and Prof. Chris Levi.
