My trip to Tallahassee was a successful one. The press conference at which I spoke on behalf of the NFL’s effort to promote youth concussion awareness featured several important speakers: Senator Flores, Representative Renuart, former NFL star and current Vice President of The Miami Dolphins Nat Moore, NFL director of government relations and public policy Kenneth Edmonds, and FHSAA Senior Director of Athletics Gary Pigott Several reporters were there covering the press conference (see News Updates for the coverage), and I was personally interviewed after the press conference. I was recognized and applauded by both senators and representatives for my work on behalf of concussion prevention. More good news came today, as the Senate Budget Committee passed Senate Bill 256, sending the concussion legislation to the Senate Floor. We have reached the final step, and the result of it will be a tremendous victory for the youth of Florida.
