The recent incident where Tongan league international Eli Katoa experienced three concussions in one game, highlighted the need for everyone to be able to confidently recognise and respond to concussion. Stacey Mowbray, CE of Headway, spoke with the Herald. “This isn’t just about one incident, it’s about changing the culture of all sport at all levels to prioritise brain health. We owe it to every athlete, at every level, to protect their future beyond the game.”
