Beyond Concussion Competitors

The Concussion Legacy Foundation was founded in 2007 by Chris Nowinski, Ph.D. and Dr. Robert Cantu in order to bring the concussion crisis into the public eye. Dr. Nowinski, a former WWE professional wrestler and Harvard football player, set a goal with Dr. Cantu to change how concussions were understood and handled in sports. Now in our tenth year, the Concussion Legacy Foundation is more dedicated than ever to solving the concussion crisis by advancing the study, treatment, and prevention of the effects of brain trauma in athletes, military veterans, and other at-risk groups. We work to achieve our mission through education and prevention programs, advocacy, policy development, and support of research at the VA-BU-CLF Brain Bank. Created in 2008 as a partnership between the Concussion Legacy Foundation, Boston University, and the Department of Veterans Affairs, the VA-BU-CLF Brain Bank conducts cutting-edge clinical and pathological research on the long-term effects of repetitive brain trauma, with a focus on the degenerative brain disease Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). The VA-BU-CLF Brain Bank is the single greatest CTE research resource in the world, housing 70% of global CTE cases. Together, we are committed to creating a world without CTE, and concussion safety without compromise.

Sports, exercise, work, and play require that we move. If we move poorly, we will fail to perform to our potential, however strong, hard-working or talented we may be. We will also invite needless injuries, unnecessary pain, and slower recovery — costing billions annually in avoidable healthcare costs and lost productivity. More adults in the US now suffer from MSK problems than all other ailments combined. There is no longer any doubt that proper movement is fundamental to fitness. Decades of research with top athletes have demonstrated big payoffs in health and human performance. But the principles of movement science have never been well understood, widely adopted or effectively applied. Our mission is to change that. First, our founder developed the most dynamic and effective movement-based performance system ever used in elite sports. Now we’ve made it possible to integrate this same solution with any athletic training, fitness, physical therapy, wellness or safety program for the same remarkable results: better performance, fewer injuries, reduced pain, and faster recovery if injuries occur. We call it Fusionetics—a fusion of movement science and smart technologies to deliver the industry’s most proven performance solution.
