A new partnership between Hall of Fame Health and the Pacific Neuroscience Institute is helping former professional football players with much-needed cognitive screenings.
LOS ANGELES -- Much of the thrill of watching the Super Bowl is being able to witness high-power tackles and clashes.
"I was an offensive lineman. Played tackle. I never was asked to ever do a job that didn't involve hitting somebody, and so I had a lot of collisions," Slater said of his time in the NFL. The NFL expressed new concerns about a disproportionate number of concussions and other injuries on Special Teams."Even though we love that aspect of it, if they can do something to make it safer for guys, then I think they should." Slater said.
"A very innovative program that combines physical exercise with cognitive exercises, and that combination is proven to be somewhat synergistic," he said."It can actually help people stall or even reverse some of their cognitive and memory decline."
