understanding of the course or clinical course of a concussion is very important information. >> and what are some of the biggest myths out there regarding teens and concussions? >> well, i think the thing that i hear all the time is you either have headache or you don't. that's the only symptom. but the reality is, there are only four categories of symptoms that the parentses, players and coaches need to be aware of. the first is physical. most of the time migraine-like symptoms. headache, sensitivity to light or noise. emotional. cognitive, focus and concentration. and finally, sleep disturbance. not all athletes will have every symptom. >> we're in the middle of the ed summer. kids playing sports in the summer. gearing up for the start of the school year. what should parents look for? >> the key is to be proactive and then to be reactive. in terms of proactive. now is when parents should look to get the youth athlete a baseline computer test. it is called a neurocognitive test. it can be really helpful in assessing the injury and

planning management and return to play should an injury occur. in terms of being reactive, be patient. these things take time. one study found that at two weeks, only 60% of athletes were recovered. at four weeks, up to 90%. the says is, when in doubt, sit out. >> and see a doctor quickly as well. >> absolutely. >> we've been focusing on american football. when it comes to concussions. this is a good segue to dan because soccer is now a rising issue with regard to concussion too. >> any sport. including cheerleading. >> jen, thank you. we're going to switch gears to the other big story from the sports world today. the world cup final hours away. the germans are the favorite after demolishing brazil in the semis. but the underdog, argentina, has the world's best player on its side. this is on the heels of brazil's humiliating defeat in a game for third place. bob woodruff has more. >> reporter: while the brazilians were beating again by the dutch. goal after goal and their fans

so those in the blue and white often sing this song. trash talk. ♪ calling brazilians their children, crying for years. ♪ so rio is calling in more police, about 26,000 today. and with so many world leaders and celebrities attending throughout the games, 1500 private security guards will be stationed in the stadium itself, just in case. this morning, you can see right here, on copacobana beach, the people are gathering. many of them have been up all night. there are helicopters. some of them are starting to chant. this is going to be a huge, huge game. dan? >> we know you'll be right there in the middle of it. bob, thank you. by the way, important note, catch the big match here on abc with coverage starting at 1:00 eastern. >> i'm typically objective. but team messi all the way. for me. you, too. >> that's two on this desk. somebody's got to stay objective.
