Welcome to Sports Legacy Institute
SLI was founded in 2007 to “Solve the Sports Concussion Crisis.” In 2009, SLI expanded its mission to serve our military veterans. SLI is primarily focused on the study of the degenerative brain disease Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, or CTE, a condition caused by repetitive concussive and sub-concussive brain injuries.
SLI is dedicated to “Changing the Mind of Sports” through medical and scientific research, education, prevention, and advocacy. Through this work, we hope to prevent future cases of CTE, the only preventable dementia, while learning to treat and eventually cure CTE in those who already suffer from it.
