It's worth knowing more about the complicated environmental and genetic factors that could explain why traumatic brain injuries lead to long-term disabilities in some people and not in others.

Being the vice-captain, you see a lot of things on the field. You have to try and help the captain as much as you can and lead by example on the field.
