Initially focused on restoring quality of life to retired athletes because of his love of the people behind sports, Game Plan Foundation was founded by retired football champion Leonard Marshall. With the guidance of its board and global advisors, Game Plan Foundation has expanded its mission to help athletes of all skill levels who are unknowingly exposed to sudden trauma and pain.

The Game Plan Foundation is focused on executing comprehensive and affordable solutions to resolve the debilitating issues of chronic pain and neurological disorders caused by head traumas and
how these negatively impact quality of life. These issues impact those associated with professional sports as well as the 1 million+ young adults and children who play sports.The right thing to do is to work together to make the sport as safe as humanly possible. We should all agree that is the cornerstone.

• Chronic Pain • Dementia • Memory Impairment • Depression • Morbidity

• These are not the terms families – your customers – use when talking about the upcoming middle school tournament, the prospect of a college athletic scholarship or what life as a professional athlete might look like.

• These are the terms many families use, however, after their loved ones have suffered head trauma which went untreated and led athletes and their families to a state of physical, emotional and financial devastation.

• As a result, scores of people live unnecessarily with debilitating pain, mental impairment, physical damage and despair.

• No one has studied how head trauma and the systemic pain and injury caused from it negatively impacts quality of life over the long term.

• This information must be scientifically discovered and the results must be used to help everyone – from pee wee football players to professional athletes and onto the field of all workforces where pain negatively impacts performance – so that lives don't get destroyed.
