This is very encouraging reading for a parent like me. Thank you for sharing this. I'm sure I'll have questions along this way that you can guide us in.

True🤣

Wisdom right there! 🙂 From your experiences then: what would make your wife worried? My thoughts: you can reduce the risk alot in soccer by decission making and the way you act on the pitch. But you will never be able to fully remove situations where you head the ball or get milder hits to the...

Agree. And things av progressed in soccer lately about head injuries. There are many things you can do in the style you play, decission making on the pitch, reduce headers in practice to close to nithing etc. Still, you won't be able to stay away from it 100% as long as heading is allowed and...

That's a very good and important advise. Thank you.

According to most articles you have to have a whole bunch of extra lives taking those hits on warfarin..When you get a black eye like that. Did you go straight to hospital our do would you only do that with more indications of internal head injury?

Thank you all for your engaging answers. much appreciated. We live in Sweden. Our cardiac clinic and doctors are often mentioned as "world-class" and we are confident in them being highly skilled. With that said we all know that even between different top-class professionals in any area, there...

Thank you @pellicle I´m thinking the same when I hear those advice and can not really see that as the one and only path of life on Warfarin by studying research. But it makes you wonder when that´s everything you hear. In sports as soccer the only thing you hear/read is "a mechanical valve...
