129. The Unseen Challenges of Athlete Concussions | Isabel Dwyer - Cheerleading & School

The Post Concussion Podcast - Life After A Brain Injury

When the cheers fall silent and the stadium lights dim, the struggle of athletes with concussions truly begins. Today, Isabel Dwyer, Miss Lilac State's Teen a fierce advocate for concussion awareness, bravely unpacks her journey through the murky waters of post-concussion syndrome.
Navigating the sidelines isn't just about physical recovery; it's an emotional marathon, especially for athletes. Isabel opens up about the isolating skepticism from teammates, the tug-of-war with her own eagerness to return to cheerleading, and the stark reality of mental health battles that loom over the healing process.
By amplifying stories like Isabel's we work for a future where athletes can chase their dreams without risking the sanctity of their minds and bodies.
