Post-Concussion Syndrome-Women’s Sports

My guest tonight is Claire Lapat, a sophomore at the University of Pittsburgh. She is a neuroscience major on the pre-med track. She is also doing a double minor in chemistry and applied statistics. Claire has suffered over 20 concussions. She was a soccer player for thirteen years, always one of the girls going for headers and playing aggressively. She now suffers from persistent Post-Concussion Syndrome. Name a symptom and she definitely has it, currently with no end in sight. Claire wants to use her experiences to make youth sports safer and to try to help others who may be going through similar things. You can follow her journey on my website, clairesconcussionjourney.home.blog and on Instagram/Facebook page @clairesconcussionjourney
