talking about his cte diagnosis, which came after he died nearly two years ago. he was 44 years old. it was the first public diagnosis of the disease in a former major league soccer player. 13 million american children play soccer, and some medidical researchers say even mild but respective hits to the head can be a risk. dr. jon lapook has the story. >> reporter: scott vermilion played five seasons for major league soccer teams. >> vermilion, trying to slide it, releasing. >> reporter: including his hometown kansas city wizards and dc united. he was also a devoted father to his two children, eva grace and braden. what was it like with you dad when you were young or growing up? >> he was quick witted. he was compassionate. >> when we were younger he was more outgoing and happier as person. >> reporter: at age 5, vermilion started playing soccer. from the very start, he was a

standout. how many goals would he score? >> by halftime, he'd have six or seven. >> reporter: this is where scott played? >> it is. >> reporter: scott's father watched his son reach the heights of soccer. at age 26, an ankle injury ended his career. but scott seemed to be moving forward with a new career in nursing. looking back, was there a moment that his personality changed? >> yeah. there was something off:00 the way he was acting. >> reporter: did you ever link the changes in his personality and in his behavior to his soccer career? >> no, no. >> reporter: dave vermilion says his son started drinking too much and abusing the painkillers he was taking for his injury. over the next decade, scott tried rehab several times but kept relapsing. and what would he say? >> he would say dad, i have to take care of this myself. and i said, well, you're not taking care of it yourself. >> poppa's. >> yep. >> reporter: the change was obvious to his ex-wife and their

two children. >> the things that he promised he would be there for were like life-changing big moments for us. he said he was going to brigham's graduation and didn't show because he said he had to work. >> reporter: how did you find out that he had died? >> i first found out -- it was on christmas. >> reporter: in december 2020, a friend found scott vermilion in his house. he was not breathing. >> my stepdad aaron called me up. i kind of knew right away, everyone was crying. >> reporter: vermilion had died from a combination of alcohol and muscle relaxers. the family began to suspect that the game he loved had damaged his brain. they turned to dr. anne mckee, director of boston university's center for chronic traumatic encephalopathy. >> or cte. >> that wasn't normal for a 44-year-old man. >> reporter: dr. key found an abnormal protein suggestive of cte in areas of vermilion's brain that control memory and organization of thought. >> it's cte and only cte. that was the only thing that was

wrong with his brain. >> reporter: dr. mckee believes concussions are not the only cause of cte. >> those balls are coming from a great distance at a tremendous velocity, and that impacts the head and causes rapid acceleration, deceleration and rotation to the brain. the professionals have longer years of exposure, but kids, kids who play high school sports, they're at risk for these changes. >> reporter: dave vermilion says during scott's many years of playing soccer, he had only one concussion. substance abuse and unexplained personality changes are early signs of cte. >> they can't control their brain. and they start isolating themselves from people who care about them. we see hundreds of cases. why aren't we doing more to prevent this? >> reporter: major league soccer, which governs the professional teams vermilion played for declined our request for an on camera interview. when we asked about their protocols for blows to the head

that don't cause concussions, the league said it follows the up to date science and cited its spotter program to identify head injuries and removing from play any player with a suspected head injury. for scott vermilion's family, the report from boston university brings some answers but also regrets. >> i wish in those four years that this was going on i could have spent more time with him and been a little bit, again, more compassionate. >> there is definitely some closure there, though. >> yeah. >> reporter: how so? >> just knowing the fact that his brain wasn't like processing the way a normal person would process. it's not like he intentionally was doing this. he wanted to get help. he wanted to be there for us. he was just sick and had this disease. >> the gift that the vermilion family has given us with her openness and sharing their story with us is awareness. it's so important that that
