When I started this blog over eighteen months ago I was so symptomatic that I struggled to get out of bed. Now, over three years since my injury and one and half years since launching this website, I am training for a full marathon and can finally say that I have regained my health. 11.

I was hit from behind, which caused my head to forcefully and abruptly jerk backwards before propelling forward with the rest of my body. It was whiplash in its most obvious form.

Stop-you-in-your-tracks headaches. Headaches that feel like barbed wires are tightly and unforgivingly wrapped around my brain.

THE TROUBLE WITH MY EARS AND EYES According to Dr. Quaid, one of my biggest issues is “Accommodative Infacility”. This means that my eyes are unable to focus properly. They are constantly going in and out of focus, which produces the fuzziness or “low definition vision” I described in a previous post.It’s why my eyes can’t handle looking at things with fine detail such as tiles on the floor, stripes, or small print. 20.

28. THIS IS NEW TOUGH. February 03, 2017 / Paige Decker One thing my nonprofit, HEADWAY FOUNDATION , has placed particular emphasis on since launching is a program surrounding sports culture and concussions. The CDC estimates that 69% of student athletes neglect to report possible concussions symptoms, and there is a growing breadth of studies highlighting the risk posed to athletes who continue to play with head injuries. Not only did we put together an extensive educational section that includes information on the importance of timely removal from play(see HERE ), but we
also started a program that engages directly with athletes and encourages them to handle concussion properly (see HERE ). To support these efforts and spread our message, we created a new phrase and produced a short film video. The phrase that we feel speaks most directly and poignantly the cultural stigma surrounding sports concussions is "NewTough".
Maybe it sounds weird at first.. but think about it... toughness is a familiar phrase in sports. Traditional toughness commends pushing through pain and glorifies big hits. It is a tendency so deeply ingrained into an athlete's mindset, as it should be. In order to succeed in sports, and in life for that matter, you need to be Tough. Gritty. Intense. Relentless. Call it whatever you want - an athlete gets this concept and often thrives off of it. So what we've tried to do with New Tough is reframe a pre-existing and understandable term in order to get everyone thinking about concussions a littledifferently.
Why?
Because there is nothing tough about playing through a head injury. What we would argue, in fact, is that it's tougher to remove yourself from play when a concussion is suspected. It's tougher to admit when you don't feel right. And it's a lot tougher to stay patient and resilient during what can sometimes become a long and arduous recovery. We always knew this type of toughness existed, but for a long time there was never a term that clearly expressed it. So we created "New Tough", a phrase that broadens and reframes our traditional understanding of toughness. So to all the athletes out there, and to everyone struggling with an injury or illness you cannot visibly see, we challenge you to be New Tough. Watch our vide below to see what this looks like: \n","url":"https://youtu.be/yJPp7oMvYSQ","width":640,"height":480,"providerName":"YouTube","thumbnailUrl":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yJPp7oMvYSQ/hqdefault.jpg","resolvedBy":"youtube"}" data-block-type="32" id="block-yui_3_17_2_1_1486153125036_16129"> " data-provider-name="YouTube" id="yui_3_17_2_1_1583544251467_70"> __February 03, 2017 / __Paige Decker / __11 Comments9 Likes
