The Ty Pozzobon Foundation has partnered with Canadian Pro Rodeo Sports Medicine. The goal is to educate and enable rodeo competitors to care for their injuries, physical and mental.
Concussion
A concussion is a disturbance in brain function caused by a direct or indirect blow to the head. It can result in a variety of nonspecific symptoms. It frequently does not involve loss of consciousness. Concussion should be suspected if any or all of these symptoms are present. Headaches, loss of balance, confusion, or emotional swings.

Mental Health
Issues with mental health can happen to anyone at any time. They can affect our emotions, psychological state, and social well-being. Physical head trauma, common in rodeo athletes, can be a contributor. Mental health issues don’t manifest themselves like a broken leg. But they can be far more serious.
