Why I Started Concussion Superstars — and Why It Still Matters Today

Hi everyone!
I’m Nora Fotuhi, founder of Concussion Superstars. Back in 2017, I started this nonprofit with a simple but powerful mission: to raise awareness about traumatic brain injuries, especially concussions, in youth athletes. Growing up, I was always curious about the brain and how it works, which inspired me to focus on protecting it.
Why concussion awareness? Because concussions are often misunderstood and underestimated, especially in young athletes. The physical and mental impacts can be serious and long-lasting, yet many don’t get the education or support they need to recover fully.
Since founding Concussion Superstars, I’ve had the privilege of reaching thousands of people through educational pamphlets, talks, and my book. But I know there’s so much more to do, and so I plan to keep advocating for more public attention to these issues.
I want to keep spreading the message, share the latest research in an accessible way, and create a community where athletes, parents, coaches, and healthcare providers can find trustworthy information and support.
Starting this month, I’ll be posting monthly blogs sharing everything from concussion prevention tips, personal stories, new scientific insights, and ways we can all work together to make sports safer for everyone.
Stay tuned for more and feel free to reach out if you have questions or want to get involved!
