Whether it's a bump, a blow, or a moment of confusion, concussions in kids don't always look dramatic, but the impact can be significant. When parents start to worry and question what injury lies beneath the surface, pediatricians are typically the first phone call or visit. With evolving guidelines and pressure to clear kids for school and sports, what is the right call? In this episode, we will break down what every clinician should know about concussions including how to spot them, how to manage them and how to guide families through recovery with confidence.

Today's episode is an edited version of a talk about rugby union's concussion crisis which I gave to the North of England Medico-Legal Society in Newcastle in April 2025, for which I'd like to thank Alex Littlefair for the invitation. It looks at the history of concussion in men's rugby union, examines how it has changed over the past fifty years, investigates the impact of professionalism, and looks at the weight of cultural traditions which have held back the sport's ability to deal with the crisis confronting it. As well as looking at the evolution of its attitudes to concussion, I also look at how rugby union's hyper-masculine traditions - inherited from its founders in the mid-nineteenth century - have shaped its understanding of injuries and have remained essentially unchanged over almost two centuries. Perhaps we can find the roots of the problem not only in today's hyper-professional sport but also in its roots as the symbol of nineteenth-century manhood?

On this episode of HALO Talks, host Pete Moore sits down with Larry English—former NFL player, real estate developer, and now the mind behind Mind Body Mastery and the Union Capital Company. Larry opens up about his journey from achieving his childhood dream of playing in the NFL, to facing the tough transition into business and entrepreneurship. He shares the pivotal realization that his champion mindset and focus on health, once honed as a pro athlete, was just as essential in the world of business. Larry talks about the importance of optimizing the "operator behind the business," using a data-driven approach to health and performance that goes far beyond "typical" fitness routines. Learn how a life-changing moment—watching the film "Concussion"—sparked his commitment to longevity and cognitive health, leading him to invest heavily in cutting-edge wellness strategies. Now, Larry helps executives and entrepreneurs unlock their peak potential through personalized, high-accountability programs that blend science, discipline, and mindset. Don't miss this inspiring conversation that proves whether on the field or in the boardroom, true performance starts with taking care of yourself first. You'll gain actionable insights on building sustainable vitality, avoiding burnout, and playing the long game in health and business. On the hidden cost of ignoring your own health as an entrepreneur, English states, "As business people, we don't debate or second guess the fact that we need to know our numbers in our business. We need to know our KPIs . . . we need to watch that P&L like a hawk. We need to know our conversion rates and cost per acquisition, leads, how many leads we're bringing in . . . all these things, right? But then we look at our health and we think that it's supposed to just happen on its own, intuitively, by happenstance? And that's just not the case." Key themes discussed Transition from NFL career to entrepreneurship and business. Importance of health optimization for business performance. Data-driven approach to personal health and performance. Mindset shifts after major career setbacks. Accountability and structure for lasting personal change. Defining success and fulfillment beyond financial achievements. A few key takeaways:  1. The Importance of Optimizing the "Operator" (You!): Larry emphasizes that just like in sports, your personal health and performance as an entrepreneur or business professional are crucial to overall success. He points out that many professionals fail to recognize that a performance mindset and maintaining health are just as important in business as they are in athletics. 2. Lessons from Professional Sports Transition to Business: Larry draws direct parallels between elite athletics and building a business. He discusses how data-driven approaches, discipline, and having a clear playbook are not just for sports, but equally vital for high-performing business leaders. Just as athletes track performance metrics, business leaders should monitor their KPIs—and their health metrics. 3. Facing and Overcoming Burnout: Burnout isn't just a result of overworking. As Larry puts it, “your operating system is busted.” After leaving the NFL, Larry learned the hard way that abandoning a health-first mindset led to a decline in vitality and performance—even as he achieved success in real estate. His story illustrates the need to reset and refocus on personal well-being for sustained high achievement. 4. Data-Driven, Holistic Optimization Programs: Larry's program is built on a holistic, science-based approach. It includes training, nutrition, biomarker optimization (via bloodwork), supplementation, and lifestyle supports. Success isn't just about willpower; it's about a system that offers expert guidance, accountability, and customization to each client's needs—so that health goals can directly power professional and personal ones. 5. Seeing Setbacks as Setups for Transformation: One of Larry's most powerful reflections centers on how a major business deal falling through led him to reconsider his true purpose. Rather than letting the setback define him, it pushed him to pursue his passion for helping others optimize their lives. He now uses the lessons—and the systems—that helped him transition from NFL athlete to successful entrepreneur and coach as a blueprint for others who want to “win the war, not just the game."

What if the advice you've been given about concussions is not only outdated—but actually slowing down your recovery? Far too many people are still told to “sit in a dark room and wait it out” after a concussion. The problem? That approach is not just unhelpful, it can delay healing, increase frustration, and leave people feeling isolated. The truth is: concussion care has evolved. Access to the right treatment, at the right time, can make all the difference in recovery. And today's guest, Lucas Johnson, co-founder and CEO of Headquarters (a virtual concussion clinic), is on a mission to make high-quality, interdisciplinary concussion care accessible to everyone—without the outdated “just wait” approach. BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER: The outdated concussion myths that are still being repeated—and why they need to stop How Lucas' personal concussion story led him to create a new standard of care Why early, structured movement (not rest in a dark room) is key to recovery How virtual clinics like Headquarters are breaking barriers and expanding access across the U.S. If you've ever felt frustrated by the lack of clear, effective concussion care—or you just want to stay on top of the most up-to-date recovery strategies—this episode is packed with hope, science, and innovation.

We unpack race highlights, where it dwindled, and why the drama never truly arrived. Meanwhile, the Women's Tour is heating up, despite Demi Vollering's crash grabbing headlines The GC battle remains alive as tensions rise between rival teams over safety and entitlement.Concussion is in focus again (22:37), from both cycling and rugby, with Gary Ringrose's self-withdrawal from Lions selection earning praise. We explore what this means for the culture of player welfare, how common this behaviour actually is, and how instrumented mouthguards could shape the future of concussion management.In Center Stage (35:46), we revisit our recent episode on fitness and training load, fuelled by great listener questions from our Discourse community. From the impact of life stress to the limitations of single-metric monitoring, we explore the complexity of training management, and why triangulation, not for the first time, is key.That theme continues in Listener Lens (55:07) with a dive into a fascinating listener question from John: why does heart rate drop when we're fatigued? The answer lies in the the balance between two parts of our nervous system, and a brain that might not let us activate muscle. This opens up paradoxes around efficiency and fatigue, and how we react to early signs of overtraining.And Finally (1:05:13), we discuss the hype and hazards of young athletic prodigies, inspired by a 12 year who nearly won a medal at the Swimming World Champs.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with someone who truly embodies grit, discipline, and the underdog advantage. From catching passes alongside Joe Montana to lining up against legends like Deion Sanders, JJ Birden's journey isn't just about athleticism—it's about mindset. What stood out most to me is how JJ turned obstacles into stepping stones. Despite being overlooked early on, he made it to the NFL through sheer determination and a no-excuses mentality. His stories from the field are more than just entertaining—they're lessons in perseverance, strategic thinking, and personal accountability. But his journey didn't stop when he left the game. JJ shares how he applied the same principles to entrepreneurship, launching his brand Beat the Coverage—a six-step framework for recognizing opportunity and winning in life. He breaks it all down in this episode, along with the health and wellness habits that keep him sharp and performing at his best today. This isn't just a highlight reel—it's a masterclass in resilience. If you've ever felt like the odds were stacked against you, this conversation is your playbook for rising above it. Key Takeaways: Resilience & Mindset: JJ Birden emphasizes the power of resilience and a strong mindset in overcoming barriers and achieving goals against the odds. Transition from Sports to Entrepreneurship: Birden discusses his career shift, leveraging his football experiences to motivate and guide others in their personal and professional journeys. "Beat the Coverage" Framework: JJ introduces a six-step framework designed to spot and exploit opportunities in life's challenges, aligning with his personal narrative. Health and Wellness Commitment: Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial to Birden, who shares practical tips and routines that contribute to his well-being at age sixty.
