Why Contact Sports Will DESTROY Your Life...

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy is a growing concern amongst atheletes in NHL, NFL, Premier League Soccer, Boxing, UFC. It has left a number of former athletes with mental disabilities and mental health disorders.
This video is an in depth look at some real life examples and consequences whilst also discussing the fact that sports organisations play down its effects or in many cases flat out deny its existence. I will also go through the medical mechanisms of sports acquired brain damage and explain exactly how it happens and why brain damage in sports is actually unavoidable.
So by looking at stories such as; chris benoit, aaron hernandez, mike webster and muhammed ali we can get a better idea and understanding of what this terrible condition is and just how punishing the effects of CTE are.

I have watched horror videos such as these(no offence meant), and it touches me in the depths of my inner core. It’s very sad that these once champions are made to become their opposites due to brain injury (from a dear sport in their life)😢 I pray for science and medicine to come together and solve these are many other brain diseases/disorders. PLEASE SHARE THIS TO AS MANY PEOPLE YOU KNOW. We need more attention brought to this disease. 🙏❤

I was a red belt (one before black) in taekwondo and I was kicked in the face during a fight. I broke my nose and had three stitches on my upper lip. My teacher at the time, on the way to the hospital, while I was holding a towel soaked in blood to my nose, said: now you decide, either you stop or you continue even stronger. And I was just a 15-year-old girl. This mentality that suffering breeds strength and you must continue is very prevalent in sports, much more so if you are a man, I believe. I was completely terrified by the situation and this sentence from my teacher made me afraid that this would be the constant if I continued in the sport. I stopped.

@PeakedInterest 29 күн бұрын

I had a similar experience in TKD grading for black and getting ready to do some breaking. The dude before me went to break his board, clearly broke his wrist on the first attempt and was told he had to complete his attempt and that pain is in the mind. That was the day I realised the belt didn't matter and went home. Pain might be in the mind but disability sure isn't.

@nicholasgutierrez9940 12 күн бұрын

It's a huge culture in all physical sports. The military also has this mentality where any pain you feel is all in your head. I've had plenty of experiences where cadre would tell us to stop for 10 seconds to puke our guts out if we had to. Or to stop breathing so loud if we were having issues. It's almost like it didn't exist. I once literally rubbed the skin on my ankles off during a ruck march and got severely injured. I was bleeding through my boots. My fucking combat boots meant to withstand a war zone. It was a lot of blood, my ankles looked completely white. I went to get a check up for it and had at least 5 people stop to yell at me for going to the medic. That was... until I turned around and showed them. I also know several people who died from over exertion. Including my battle buddy who was 19 at the time. Not to mention all the people who would just pass out from doing too much. It's a weird thing. I can understand it in the military. Better to feel exhausted and near death than actually dying. In sports? Absolutely insane. I know people who would abuse the medical system to get pills to stay fit to fight, like they would in WW2 with tanker chocolate. Now people are taking drugs like they are candy to get better results, it's sad.

I remember reading that there's a paradoxical effect to more padding and better helmets in sports, in that it protects from things like bruises, cuts, and broken bones but exacerbates concussions and brain damage because the players are much more likely to hit harder since there's less danger of other injuries. Not sure if it was actually supported by evidence or not.

@PeakedInterest Ай бұрын

That's correct. Safety gear is largely to protect the fighters hands and keep the fight going longer. If we took away gloves they would throw less head punches because their hands would get destroyed

@AnthonyRusso93 Ай бұрын

I had heard that the paradoxical effect is attributable to the reduced severity on concussions when someone receives a severe concussion it is detected almost every time and the most significant recourse is taken with the longer the hiatus enforced. Minor concussions can be completely undetectable and leads to the most deleterious circumstance the double concussion possibly stacking up with the second most destructive the sequential concussion prior to complete recovery. That was at the very least the case within gridiron football. Which does have a significant statistical record of increased protective equipment made it better before it made it worse gridiron despite the ridicule of rugby fans was demonstrably more deadly than rugby prior to the introduction of the forward pass which was actually apparently an effective resolution as before that they would just red-rover style ram into each other repeatedly.

In regards to MMA and boxing, the headgear won't protect against brain damage. It only exists to prevents cuts from happening since the edges of the gloves are a bit sharp. Wearing headgear can increase chances of getting brain damage because your head is a bigger target now and will be easier to hit. You would have to slip and dodge farther to make up for the increased target size, but now you're developing bad habits because you're slipping farther than you should.

@@Therearethings8148 The problem is that the initial blow isn't the only source of damage. If the head accelerates fast enough, the fact that the brain accelerates slower causes it to smack against the inside of the skull, then the head can slow down to fast and the brain doesn't slow fast enough. The head protection can absorb all the force you can get it to absorb, but unless it also somehow alters the way the head moves as a result you still have two chances of injury per blow. This is also why headbanging is dangerous, and with that there is no blow in the first place, just someone voluntarily bobbing their head way to fast, unaware that they're giving themself a collection of minor injuries that will build over time if they keep doing it.

@royhenley2396 28 күн бұрын

Agreed. Even if some new kind of boxing/mma helmet distributed the impact of a strike, it's still ultimately anchored to the neck. And, the acceleration/deceleration is still causing damage as the brain is slammed from one side of the skull to the other. Nevertheless, in football or hockey, a helmet could have accelerometers (much like the sensors in the bumpers on a car). These accelerometers could collect both severity and cumulative impacts. Once a medically determined threshold is exceeded, that player would be forced to exit the game. Imagine a helmet with LED's displaying impact status. Of course it would fundamentally change the game. But seeing the longterm effects that these athletes (AND THEIR FAMILIES) suffer through, makes me not want endorse their sport by watching it.

I feel as if one of the most understated yet devastating causes of CTE is how young people start.

@PeakedInterest Ай бұрын

This is really true. A lot of our laws were created before we knew anything about the brain. For most people it continues to develop until 24 or so, which means things like smoking, drinking, violence, drugs all cause actual brain damage and prevent it from developing properly.

@@PeakedInterest A patricians choice. It is funny when people watch the Rocky movies you can say "real boxing matches arent like that, no one can take those kinds of hits for multiple rounds on end" but those fights were literally like a Rocky movie. I was speechless at how amazing they were. I always watched boxing matches on pay per view with my Dad in college and they were a bonding experience and great memories, but to know how much they both suffered from them really takes the shine off. Didnt Gotti commit suicide?

As someone who is only somewhat functioning because of several kinds of both psych and pain meds. It hit so hard that meds have no effect. I am not a sports person, so I only had a basic understanding of CTE, admittedly mainly because of the true crime tie-in. So it might be a known symptom, but for me, it was a new and heavy hitting fact. Amazing video!

What I don’t like about a lot of these types of docs and reports is that they tend to suggest that professional athletes are the only ones to confront these issues. For every famous and semi-famous pro athlete that gets CTE, there are hundreds of kids that only played youth and school sports who silently live on with these struggles and yet that get mo such diagnosis.

Why the hell aren't I getting my notifications KZfaq?😫 I must look into this. Awesome Lee. You never fail to interest with yet another intelligent & informative episode . I had a conversation today with someone along these lines, though about the subject of depression & how so many people, even the most sincere, seem to miss what is truly happening for the sufferer. Many people seem to have a disconnect between medically assessed depression and its physically debilitating effects as well as the mental effects which they don't seem to quite put into perspective either. They think of depression as speaking softly to the person but given a couple of weeks or other time period they have self decided, that the sufferer now needs to shake it off & go about their life as they did previously to having depression. Depression is experienced in varying degrees but that attitude alone, no matter how well intentioned, shows how their understanding of depression & its real effects to the sufferer haven't been grasped. They view depression as if the sufferer has chosen to be "sad" or lacks motivation. The lack of a physical injury obviously has something to do with that view but not contemplating that it isn't a mood or a choice means they can't ever empathise with the person going through depression or understand the condition well enough to be of help in the way they genuinely might like to be. Anyway, another excellent episode mate. Well done.

@PeakedInterest Ай бұрын

Thank you, I dunno why that happens about notifications. I have told KZfaq before they suggested it might be the push settings in people's phones so you can try looking there. On the subject of mental health I've been thinking for a while about how to make a video which properly conveys how it actually feels similar to how I simulated cte in this video. I think people might understand better if they can actually see because it's hard to contextualise something you've never felt.

@evryhndlestakn Ай бұрын

@@PeakedInterest yes exactly. You can't bandage what is occurring internally. I did see, after I posted, that you had done a previous early episode that mentions depression & Im slightly embarrassed to say I haven't watched it yet because I thought I had watched everything you had produced on Peaked Interest. I'll be watching it in about 20 minutes & appreciate it wouldn't be going into the depths of the subject or may be in reference to a character or specific person rather than the subject as a whole. Always great to see the content you put out. I especially enjoyed the comedy of the pilot & I can't tell you how many times I've watched your Musk episode. God, that's a story that keeps giving & any follow up to that episode is going to be an exercise in "suffering for your art" if you did decide to make one. I get the feeling you prefer not to go over subjects that are already well covered or if you don't see that you may be bringing anything new to what is believed on the subject. Or if the subject interests you enough to put in the required effort. In the case of Musk I could see how the subject could be less than appealing after having gone there once before😬🥲😂. All the best mate.

Something that should be noted about the Chris Benoit case and why he was so popular especially for the WWE. One thing just about anyone, and especially wrestlers, will not do is get hit in the back of the head when given head shots. The front of the head can withstand some blows without cracking but the back of the head is a completely different story. Chris Benoit repeatedly took chair shots to the back of the head and would do so willingly. It was said the 40 year old had the brain of an 80 year old with severe dementia. His brain was pea shaped compared to a normal brain.
