Sinopse
http://SJInstiutue.com Brandi Chastain Pledges To Donate Brain To Concussion Research. She may have retired from soccer, but Brandi Chastain has never stopped looking for ways to contribute to sports. Recently, that's meant collaborating with Chris Nowinski, executive director of the Concussion Legacy Foundation. Chastain, a member of the 1999 World Cup-winning U.S. women's national soccer team and a prolific header of the ball, has decided to donate her brain to the foundation after her death, where it can be examined for signs of trauma. And Chastain's donation could provide valuable information whether or not she developed the proteins that can lead to CTE.
