BMX biker Dave Mirra diagnosed with CTE - CNN.com
Playing sports, especially "extreme" like freestyle skiing, motocross/supercross, freestyle skate, freestyle bmx, etc etc. PLEASE if you get your bell rung one time to many, step back and evaluate, take a break. You don't have to quit and you may lose some money but your life is worth it. And if you have to quit it is ok. Life goes on after extreme sports, you don't have to prove you have no fear and are the best/if you are hurting the money isn't worth it. It isn't easy to leave the lifestyle but after you do it gets easier everyday. You don't have to push yourself the rest of your life to prove anything. It doesn't matter if anyone remembers what you did. You don't have to prove yourself to others or yourself. Dave was the best ever, he overdid it and it wasn't worth it. Even if you are known as an athlete, and that's what people expect you to be the rest of your life......and it hurts too much just quit. You will find true friends and family that accept your decision and help you on with life.
