Concussion Alliance CEO and Co-Founder Conor Gormally spoke on a panel about concussions in student-athletes for InDepth on the Oklahoma News Report, which was broadcast on September 20, 21, and 22 across Oklahoma on the state-wide PBS affiliate OETA. You can view the 17-minute discussion on YouTube here.

Also on the panel: Dr. Julie Stamm, Concussion Alliance Expert Advisory Board Member, Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Kinesiology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and author of The Brain on Youth Sports, and Leander Walker, Yukon Schools Head Athletic Trainer and past president of the Oklahoma Association of Athletic Trainers. The panel was hosted by InDepth host and producer Cassidy Mudd.

The panel discussed concussion education for students and parents in Oklahoma, concussion treatment and long-term symptoms, balancing risks with the very real benefits of sport, misconceptions about concussions, social pressure to participate in football, and the need for greater education and understanding about concussions across the country.
