I definitely agree about the future of youth football being flag. There's just more and more evidence that the youth brain is particularly susceptible to the injury - thin necks, big heads. They're not as coordinated; they're not as skillful. For many reasons, I think the wave of the future is flag football for youth.

I was born with football - my brothers, my dad. I played football when I was a kid. I mean, you know, it was part of life. It's a part of growing up. It's - you know, it's a way of life.

My greatest hope is that we learn how trauma induces neurodegeneration in susceptible individuals.

My son was a goalkeeper in soccer, and he luckily never had much head trauma. He never had any concussions or anything. I really wanted him to play football, but now I'm thankful he didn't.

I think we want to make the sport bigger and better and leave a good legacy for the next generation that comes through.

Winning is the most important thing. You want to focus on the game and the team.

I've been playing semi-professional football since I was 14, really.

I spent my whole childhood in leotards, tutus, sports bras; I was showing my midriff from the age of three.
