Meredith Greenberg

Founder of The Athlete Concussion Foundation The Athlete Concussion Foundation was established by Meredith Greenberg, a varsity high school lacrosse goalie in southern New York. She also played field hockey and is an avid weightlifter. 

For years, lacrosse was her greatest passion. “Nothing is more exciting than being in the goal,” she always says. Because she wore a helmet and mouthguard, she thought her head was protected. Unfortunately, that wasn’t true. Over the course of three years, she sustained six concussions.

Meredith was diagnosed with Post Concussion Syndrome. (One in six young athletes end up with PCS.)  After battling to get her brain working again, Meredith dedicated herself to educating young athletes about the risks of sports concussions.
