Concussed
Book • 2023
In 'Concussed', Sam Peters investigates concussions and the potential links to long-term neurodegenerative conditions in contact sports, particularly rugby.
Drawing on interviews with players, clinicians and insiders, the book traces how concussion was handled historically and how attitudes and protocols evolved.
Peters scrutinises governing bodies, medical practice and cultural factors that may have contributed to player harm, while documenting individual stories of affected athletes.
The book combines investigative reporting with analysis of scientific evidence and policy responses to advocate for greater transparency and player protection.
It has been recognised in awards and shortlisted for major sports writing prizes.
