Koby discussed his experiences with a traumatic brain injury and explained how he stayed positive. In the article, Koby also shared his experience advocating for other students at Mount Sinai's Concussion Roundtable Initiative.
"I was the only student in a room filled with doctors, school nurses, clinicians, athletic trainers and more. We discussed various issues regarding concussions and protocols that work and don't work. I was able to provide the student perspective and share the challenges that I faced in returning to school and sports,” said Koby. “There is so much emphasis in schools on the protocols to return to play, but very little procedures exist on best practices and support to return to school. There needs to be more focus on returning to life too. I found that I have a voice and can help effect change."
