Becoming UnDone
156 | The Concussion That Changed Everything: Dr. Shawn Eagle's Path to Purpose

Maybe at your lab, your socials, that kind of thing.

Becoming UnDone
156 | The Concussion That Changed Everything: Dr. Shawn Eagle's Path to Purpose

Yeah, I'll look it up and drop that into the show notes for you.

Becoming UnDone
156 | The Concussion That Changed Everything: Dr. Shawn Eagle's Path to Purpose

Yeah, absolutely.

Becoming UnDone
156 | The Concussion That Changed Everything: Dr. Shawn Eagle's Path to Purpose

I know a lot of people, you know, the Virginia Tech folks are known for their research on helmets, but it's known for its longstanding and impactful work.

Becoming UnDone
156 | The Concussion That Changed Everything: Dr. Shawn Eagle's Path to Purpose

No pun intended there, but it's cutting edge work that is changing, not just sports.

Becoming UnDone
156 | The Concussion That Changed Everything: Dr. Shawn Eagle's Path to Purpose

I mean, rules changes come about from this type of work, but the way athletes train, the way they recover, right?

Becoming UnDone
156 | The Concussion That Changed Everything: Dr. Shawn Eagle's Path to Purpose

That's the beauty of research is when we're not just learning it for the sake of science.

Becoming UnDone
156 | The Concussion That Changed Everything: Dr. Shawn Eagle's Path to Purpose

That's cool in and of itself, but when it impacts people's lives and it changes the way people respond and recover, that to me kind of scratches the itch I've always had to serve others.

Becoming UnDone
156 | The Concussion That Changed Everything: Dr. Shawn Eagle's Path to Purpose

Yeah.

Becoming UnDone
156 | The Concussion That Changed Everything: Dr. Shawn Eagle's Path to Purpose

Well, Sean, I can't thank you enough for joining me today.

Becoming UnDone
156 | The Concussion That Changed Everything: Dr. Shawn Eagle's Path to Purpose

It's been a real treat.

Becoming UnDone
156 | The Concussion That Changed Everything: Dr. Shawn Eagle's Path to Purpose

I look forward to continuing to follow your work as my listeners can.

Becoming UnDone
156 | The Concussion That Changed Everything: Dr. Shawn Eagle's Path to Purpose

You know, as I sit with this conversation, there's a part of me that just keeps coming back to something Sean said, not just about concussion being treatable.

Becoming UnDone
156 | The Concussion That Changed Everything: Dr. Shawn Eagle's Path to Purpose

We knew that, but it's about how often we misunderstand what's actually happening in the middle of the struggle.

Becoming UnDone
156 | The Concussion That Changed Everything: Dr. Shawn Eagle's Path to Purpose

Because for Sean, it wasn't just an injury.

Becoming UnDone
156 | The Concussion That Changed Everything: Dr. Shawn Eagle's Path to Purpose

It was confusion.

Becoming UnDone
156 | The Concussion That Changed Everything: Dr. Shawn Eagle's Path to Purpose

It was anxiety.

Becoming UnDone
156 | The Concussion That Changed Everything: Dr. Shawn Eagle's Path to Purpose

It was a sense that something wasn't right, but not having the language to explain it.

Becoming UnDone
156 | The Concussion That Changed Everything: Dr. Shawn Eagle's Path to Purpose

And I think if we're honest, concussion or not, a lot of us have been there.

Becoming UnDone
156 | The Concussion That Changed Everything: Dr. Shawn Eagle's Path to Purpose

Maybe it wasn't a concussion, but it was with something that changed us.
