Impromptu PROGRAM:
Carlee Ransweiler
Carlee began her sophomore year at the University of Indiannapolis last semester (August) and while playing soccer, which she was recruited for, she suffered a concussion and has ongoing related issues. The doctor said no more soccer for now and because of the negative effects of the concussion she was unable to complete school work due to low cognitive memory so she came home to the ‘nest’ in December. Carlee will continue with physical therapy and work with her neurologist. She hopes to return to college, somewhere, and continue her education majoring in psychology.
Carlee told us about traumatic brain injuries such as hers and she advocates the “Full 90” headgear for protection. Dad Rob also gave us some insight into these brain injuries and the number 1 cause of them is soccer as they do so many ‘headers’.
Luckily Carlee has no CTE micro abrasions on her brain and they are hopeful she will have a full recovery. She can play non-contact sports and is getting her ‘soccer fix’ coaching girls soccer at her high school alma mater.
Thank you Carlee for a great presentation and we wish you the best of luck in your future. Come see us anytime!
