“You can’t fix something if you don’t know what’s broken.” – Howard Dell

Howard Dell, Olympian and professional athlete, has experienced over 30 concussions throughout his career and passionately advocates for continuous education and support for those living with traumatic brain injuries (TBI).

For those living with traumatic brain injuries (TBI), this quote resonates deeply. TBIs often present as invisible injuries, while physical wounds may heal, the lasting cognitive, emotional, and physical effects can remain hidden. Memory lapses, difficulty concentrating, mood swings, and chronic fatigue can disrupt daily life, often in ways that others can’t easily see or understand.

The Hidden Consequences of TBI

A traumatic brain injury occurs when a sudden impact to the head disrupts normal brain function. These injuries can result from car accidents, falls, sports collisions, and assaults. While some TBIs are mild concussions, others can lead to severe and lifelong cognitive impairment.

People living with TBIs often experience:

  • Cognitive challenges – Difficulty concentrating, remembering details, and making decisions.
  • Emotional struggles – Increased anxiety, depression, and unpredictable mood swings.
  • Physical impairments – Balance issues, headaches, and chronic fatigue.
  • Social and professional difficulties – Struggles with maintaining relationships, work responsibilities, and everyday tasks.

According to the Brain Injury Association of America, more than 5.3 million individuals in the United States are living with long-term effects of brain injury. Yet, because these injuries are not always visible, many survivors feel dismissed, misunderstood, or frustrated.
