Stone Phillips on Hard Hits to the Head in Youth Football

Season 2012

Stone Phillips reports on never-before-conducted youth football head injury research.

Kids who play football make -- and take -- hits to the head just as hard as any high school, college or NFL player, according to a new study. Journalist Stone Phillips delved into the never-before-conducted research at Virginia Tech. Phillips discussed his reporting -- and his own history of head injuries in college football -- with Hari Sreenivasan.
