Headstrong

Like many eleven-year-old boys, Luke Heavner enjoyed playing sports, fishing, hunting, and spending time with friends near his family’s home in Lincolnton, NC. After sustaining two separate concussions in two weeks, however, his life took a dramatic turn as he suddenly suffered from headaches, panic attacks, nausea, disorientation, and other terrifying symptoms while struggling to recover. Suddenly, lights were brighter, noises were louder, and school became an unbearable obstacle. Join Luke and his mother, Myra, as they share Luke’s story and provide tips for preventing and identifying concussions, as well as what to do if you or your child are ever diagnosed with a concussion. Headstrong is an invaluable resource for kids, parents, and coaches alike.
