  OW Sports Network Interview: Football Was Good to Me—But We Didn’t Know the Cost | Paul Frase on Brain Trauma and Hope

  Aug 18, 20262h 17m

  Football gave Paul Frase an 11-year NFL career. Decades later, it forced him to confront the unseen cost of thousands of repeated head impacts—and the question every parent, coach and athlete needs to face. Former NFL defensive lineman Paul Frase joins Vince and Stevie D of the OW Sports Network for a direct conversation about football, repeated head impacts and protecting the next generation. Paul looks back on his journey from Syracuse University to the New York Jets, Jacksonville Jaguars, Green Bay Packers and Baltimore Ravens—including the teammates, rivalries and unforgettable moments that shaped his career. But the most important part of this conversation begins after football. Paul shares what happened when episodes of uncontrolled rage began affecting his life at age 47, how learning about the possible effects of repeated head impacts changed his understanding of those symptoms, and why that experience helped inspire the HeadRush Podcast. The conversation examines: Why repeated head impacts—not only diagnosed concussions—matter The risks facing children in football, hockey, soccer and other contact sports How parents and coaches can reduce unnecessary contact Why athletes must be allowed to report symptoms without being shamed The roles of nutrition, sleep and emerging brain-health therapies Why people struggling after brain trauma should never assume their lives are over Follow the HeadRush Podcast and share this episode with an athlete, parent, coach or caregiver who needs to hear it. Special thanks to Vince and Stevie D of the OW Sports Network for hosting this important conversation.

  When Love Becomes Caregiving: The Hidden Toll of Brain Trauma

  Aug 10, 20261h 24m

  Brain trauma doesn’t only affect the athlete. It can reshape a marriage, a family, and the life of the person standing beside them. What does it really mean to care for someone living with the long-term effects of repeated head impacts and brain trauma? In this deeply personal episode of the HeadRush Podcast, Paul Frase and Corey Berry are joined by Corey’s wife, Susan Berry , and Brandi Winans , wife of former NFL player Jeff Winans, for an honest conversation about the side of brain trauma that is too often overlooked: the caregiver. Susan shares what nearly 27 years beside Corey has looked like through cognitive changes, frightening neurological episodes, anger, memory loss, isolation, and his eventual diagnosis of Traumatic Encephalopathy Syndrome (TES). Brandi reflects on decades beside Jeff as his physical and neurocognitive health declined, as well as the advocacy work that grew from her family's experience. Together, they talk candidly about caregiver exhaustion, walking on eggshells, raising children around neurological changes, protecting relationships, asking for help, finding support groups, and staying connected to the person you love while brain trauma changes life around you. This episode refresh isn't simply about professional athletes. It is about spouses, parents, children, veterans, first responders, and families trying to understand what may be happening to someone they love. Because awareness can change how a family responds. And caregivers need support too.
