Jake Pates started snowboarding at the age of 7. As a born & raised coloradian, that’s pretty late! that didn’t stop him from 7 years later starting his professional career touring in oslo with the greats at the arctic challenge. a few years later he joined the olympic team & headed off to pyenogchang to compete in the olympics to compete with the best in the world & made the finals! snowboarding has always been central to his life & through some of his struggles with concussions, he started happy healthy brain foundation. the mission is to change the protocols, preventions & cures for people in all sports, starting with skiing & snowboarding. they want to make the tools & resources much more available to the people who need it most. slope style & halfpipe are relatively new sports, so we don’t know exactly how wipe outs & head injuries will effect our athletes, we can look to other sports like football for clues. learning from their mistakes will make sure those mistakes aren’t repeated in other sports in the years to come. follow happy healthy brain foundation on instagram or check out their website below! https://instagram.com/_happyhealthybrain?igshid=ox6izyni6dms http://happyhealthybrainfoundation.org/
