Suzanne Eyler Williams: Cushioning the effects of concussion and repetitive impact

The sporting world is laser focused on the dangers of concussions but are they the greatest threat to an athlete's brain health or is something else at play? In this episode of Empowering Leaders, we dive into the latest science around repetitive head impacts or, as our guest refers to them, Brain Slosh, and we learn about an incredible new device that could help. While concussions make headlines, the real danger lies in the constant, subtle hits athletes endure every game and practice—hits that don't always result in noticeable symptoms. Suzanne Williams, Vice President of Sports Marketing at Q30 Innovations, breaks down how these seemingly harmless impacts, whether from football, soccer, equestrian sports, or even mountain biking, can have a cumulative effect on brain health. With over 10 years of research and 25 independent studies behind it, Suzanne explains how a new device is showing promise in reducing Brain Slosh—the primary cause of concussions.
