Leigh Steinberg has a lifetime of experience advocating for the wellbeing of professional athletes. Throughout his career as a sports agent, he saw first hand how traumatic brain injuries can impact the lives of players and their families even years after retirement. Decades before research laid bare the sports world’s concussion crisis, Leigh witnessed players struggling with repeated concussions while doctors could provide few answers. Leigh felt a profound call to action, and in the 1990s, he hosted a groundbreaking concussion conference, bringing together the country’s leading neurologists and issuing some of the very first guidelines for concussion reform. Years later, Leigh hosted a summit with the Concussion Institute, again bringing together leaders in the medical community, including Dr. Bennet Omalu, whose revolutionary work exposing the prevalence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in professional athletes inspired the 2015 film Concussion (which Leigh also consulted on). Leigh has made taking on the concussion crisis and fighting for the wellbeing of athletes his highest mission and uses his platform to advocate for concussion research, awareness, and reform. The Leigh Steinberg Foundation is the culmination of that mission.
