Jay is the founder and executive director of The Knockout Project.[1][2] He is an outspoken advocate on the topic of concussion education, having sustained multiple concussions.[3][4][5] He suffers from post-concussion syndrome.[6][7][8]
Fraga argues that concussed athletes are unable to judge the severity of their own injuries and need oversight from medically-qualified sideline observers.[9]
