"since Then, the 31-year-old tried to fight back."

"Högernian choose to end his career."

"– this is too slow. It is a long way back. It encroaches too much on my regular life for me to believe that I can come back to a handbollsnivå again with all the risks it entails, the tempo, the input signals and all the stimuli that the brain is exposed to when playing handball. It is just too far away for me to believe that I'll get there and even like to get there, " says Jakobsson to the GP."

"”It is for the big risks”"

"It's happening too much for your brain to keep up with."

"– Normally, you might notice each week how much better it gets. Here it can go three weeks without you actually have no clue if you become better or not. You may have a slump where you have a bad week and then you think: ”Oh well. Then I was back at square one.” It is more difficult for that you do not notice actual improvement. But over a longer period of time so I notice the. It is the patience, I get to work with."

"– They say that there are big risks, and as it is now, it is fantastic far away to be able to play handball at all and there is no idea to try to set any forecast. There are high risks and there are risks I do not want to take. From a purely medical perspective, they recommended it (to try and get back as handbollsspelare, reds. note.) absolutely not."
