Announcing our new event series…
We are delighted to announce the launch of our new event series Ahead of the Game; Tackling the Future of Sport.
The events will be hosted by Concussed Media’s founder, award-winning author and former sports journalist Sam Peters, alongside expert speaker line-ups including current and former athletes, coaches, sports medics and administrators, connected by their mutual love of sport and those who participate in it.
The events will promote safer participation in sport and education around concussion and wider brain health.
Winner of the Pinsent Masons Sports Writing Award, and shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year, Concussed is the definitive account of sport's concussion crisis, how its 'dirty secret' was finally made public and what rugby union must now do to save itself.
Also shortlisted for Rugby Book of the Year at The British Sports Book Awards, a The Times and The Daily Telegraph “Book of the Year” and a Waterstones “Best Sports Book of 2023”, Concussed recounts the untold story of the most influential sports campaign in British newspaper history, which turned concussion in professional rugby from a niche issue into front and back page news.
Concussed poses the questions all sports lovers need answering as evidence grows linking sports-related concussions to premature deaths and dementia.
'Sam Peters has fought a truly magnificent campaign on concussion in rugby . . . sport will be safer because of it.'
