Luke Ivens: The impacts of Brain Injury in Sport - A South Australian Story

Luke Ivens is one of CLF Australia's ambassadors and a dedicated SANFL player who clocked up 194 games for North Adelaide during 2000 and 2013. Luke thoroughly enjoyed his footy playing days despite suffering numerous concussions and head impacts. Near the end of his career, Luke noticed he was suffering from headaches, short-term memory loss, and anxiety. These symptoms then led to a reliance on self-medication and alcohol.

Luke later discovered these symptoms may have been linked to his past head impacts and decided to make a dramatic change in his own life whilst trying to help others with similar experiences. Luke has an important story to share as he inspires us all to find new ways to have hope.

In this CLF Australia webinar, Executive Director Annitta Siliato spoke with Ivens to discuss how he overcame adversity and is making a difference in educating and supporting others all over Australia.
