A former goalkeeper on the Dartmouth women's lacrosse team who has since stepped away to work as a student assistant coach, Katie Forman '21 opens up about her experience with concussions and the issues that affected her as a result in a personal reflection for The Sideline Perspective.
In this piece — "My Battle With The Invisible: An Open Letter to Athletes Dealing with Concussions and the Teammates Who Believed Me" — Forman sheds light on her diagnosed and undiagnosed concussions, how she felt and reacted each time and the steps she has taken to combat the side effects.
