Heads ‘N Tales aims to help athletes transform their live’s after sports and facilitate conversations to protect athletes from career ending injuries while they are still playing.

A Brief History

After graduating from Georgetown with a master’s degree in sports industry management and with hopes of raising concussion awareness and improving sports safety, Kevin Saum established the Heads ‘N Tales podcast to share inspiring stories of perseverance and the latest innovations in sports health. 

Kevin suffered a traumatic brain injury called Second Impact Syndrome (SIS) during a high school football game on October 5, 2007. SIS has a 50% mortality rate and nearly 100% morbidity rate, yet Kevin miraculously survived with full cognitive and physical abilities, but was no longer able to pursue his dream of playing college football. Although Kevin knew how fortunate he was, his transition to life after sports was trying. Despite his disappointment and depression, Kevin felt inspired to be the voice for those athletes who weren’t as lucky as he was and who are not able to share their stories. Heads ‘N Tales was created in 2015 to be a platform where athletes can share their tales of perseverance to help inspire anyone in their time of need. 

New podcast episodes are released monthly and Kevin has produced over 200 recordings and counting to date.
