Episode 22 - Tim Fleiszer

On this episode, I’m joined by four time CFL Grey Cup Champion, Tim Fleiszer. Born and raised in Montreal, Tim grew up with two dominant environments - medicine and sports. His mother was a child psychologist and father a trauma surgeon. On the sports side, his father was an accomplished university athlete and the physician for the Montreal Canadians and Alouettes. A multi-sport athlete, Tim chose the athletics route and eventually landed on football as his path to professional sports. After a decade in the CFL, he decided to move into the world of consulting and sports management. In his post-football journey, he committed some of his time to the U.S. based Concussion Legacy Foundation to help his friend and founder Chris Nowinski. When the Foundation expanded to Canada, Tim took on the role of Executive Director. In addition to looking at the effects of concussions on athletes, the Foundation has started Project Enlist in Canada to look at service related concussions on our military personnel. Show notes:Hec Crighton TrophyTim’s Football CareerThe Concussion Legacy Foundation CanadaThanks again for listening to the NSP.NSP on LinkedInNSP on FacebookNSP on InstagramNSP Podcast Music Credit (episodes 19 - onwards): PaulYudin, Upbeat Uplifting CorporateNSP Podcast Music Credit (episodes 1 - 18): RomanSenykMusic, Action TrailerNSP Podcast Logo - L.
