ms. robertson? >> excusing? generally the association of boxing commission has taken position against youth pan cration. manipulating joints is also very dangerous and we are concerned right now about the cultism of weight loss which has been proven to contribute to the head injuries.... >> we might get into that more with the trickle down effect, role models. the second item was to educate fighters so they learn the greatest opportunity to limit exposure and not allow head strikes in training and sparring exercises. mr. nowitzki?... >> absolutely. we're seeing more of that in training techniques and with our ufc fighters. that's one of the things i talked about with the under construction athlete health and performance center. where the idea is, we would bring in athletes free of charge to come in and learn training techniques and be educated in areas about avoiding subconcussive hits during training. and take that back out to their gyms not only in the united states but throughout the world and educate and all
