Description

Full contact fighting is inherently risky, especially when you consider the traumatic brain damage that's so common in boxing, kickboxing and MMA. And competing in sports where head shots and brain trauma are abundant ramps those risks up exponentially.

In this episode I discuss the number one indicator that I think tells you when you should quit competing in contact sports...

Cheers, Stephan Kesting
