Did you know? Young athletes who experience a concussion are at a significantly higher risk of suffering another within the same season. 🧠 Concussions aren’t just “one-time” injuries—they can have lasting effects, especially when they occur repeatedly. That’s why it’s crucial for coaches, parents, and players to take even seemingly minor head injuries seriously and follow proper recovery protocols. At the Chuck Noll Foundation, we’re committed to supporting research and raising awareness around the risks and long-term impacts of concussions in youth sports. Together, we can work toward a safer future for young athletes everywhere. #BrainInjuryAwareness #YouthSports #ConcussionPrevention #ChuckNollFoundation #AthleteSafety #PlayItSafe

What an unforgettable evening at the Legends Event! ✨ Last night, we gathered at the Hall of Honor Museum at Acrisure Stadium to celebrate two true legends in the field of brain health, Joseph Maroon MD and Dr. Mark Lovell.

Did you know? Concussions can happen even if you don’t lose consciousness!🧠 In fact, 90% of those who suffer a concussion never lose consciousness at all. This is why it’s so crucial to recognize the other signs of a concussion and take every head impact seriously. At the Chuck Noll Foundation, we’re committed to spreading awareness and advancing research to protect athletes and individuals from the hidden dangers of concussions. Stay informed, play it safe, and let’s keep brains protected! 💛 #ChuckNollFoundation #ConcussionAwareness #BrainInjuryResearch

Leaving a Legacy for Concussion Research💡 A Maine teen is making an incredible commitment to the future of brain injury research by pledging to donate his brain to the University of Pittsburgh’s National Sports Brain Bank. After enduring multiple concussions, he wants to ensure that his experience can help others and further our understanding of brain health. This selfless decision is his way of contributing to a future where athletes of all ages can play safely and with better protection. It’s stories like his that drive the mission of the Chuck Noll Foundation. Together, we’re working toward a safer world for everyone impacted by brain injuries. 💛 🔗 https://loom.ly/4zvO-h4 #BrainInjuryAwareness #ConcussionResearch #LegacyOfHope #InspiringChange

Healthy heart, healthy brain! 🩺 Did you know that the health of your arteries and veins is just as important for your brain as it is for your heart? Keeping your blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol in check is key to supporting both! Regular checkups are essential, but you can take action every day to keep your numbers in a healthy range. Incorporate more physical activity, follow a Mediterranean diet, and reduce your sodium intake to help lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels. And don’t forget—moderation is key!
