You may or may not have heard of Traumatic Brain Injury or TBI, or maybe had it confused with concussions. Talk about confusing them: Extreme Athlete, Amanda Smith, had multiple TBI’s and concussions since age two.

AND find out how her resilience and intention alone carried her through healing to be extremely active at present both in sports and her career as an executive, speaker, public relations specialist and human rights advocate.
