Awareness around the dangers of football and the head injuries that players can incur has been growing, and today we have a guest who knows all too well about the effects of a football related concussion. 

Today's guest Wayne Rogers was playing semi-pro football and suffered from a concussion that caused serious and long-lasting issues for him. We talk through the experience of the early symptoms, and when he realized some of the problems were not going away as quickly as he had imagined. We also talk about the effects of the symptoms on the different parts of his life, his relationship with a partner and twin daughters. Wayne encourages anyone struggling with the after-effects of a head injury to avoid suffering in silence and recommends leaning on the people in your life you can trust and rely on when necessary. Despite the difficulties he has encountered, Wayne has a message of hope and progress, so listen in to hear it all!
