Resistance Pro

Featured Program

Resistance Pro (RP) is a Chicago-based professional wrestling organization led by creative director Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins. Corgan reached out to SLI and Chris Nowinski because, “Injuries are nothing to be ashamed about. They happen, but you have to support the talent and not just look the other way.” SLI is now working with RP to develop a customized plan to improve the safety of the performers and manage risk, while still producing an entertaining product by utilizing SLI educational programs and policies.

“I said to Chris, ‘What if we become the first wrestling company to work with SLI to make concussion safety part of our protocol?’ Alongside the talk is real action, as Resistance Pro has its athletes undergo regular concussion screening.” -Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins, Resistance Pro Creative Director

Major League Lacrosse
The Sports Legacy Institute and Major League lacrosse, the premier professional outdoor lacrosse league, partnered to create an innovative comprehensive concussion program for the 2013 season. The policies combine best practices from peer sports leagues while adding new elements focusing on concussion education, reporting, assessment, and management.

“Concussions are a critical issue in sports today. We asked SLI, the experts in the field, to develop the most aggressive program in professional sports so that we can protect our players’ long-term health, ensure longevity of their careers and set a strong example for youth and college sports programs to make concussion care and training a priority.” -David Gross, Major League Lacrosse Commissioner

Westport Police Athletic League (PAL)
In 2007, Westport PAL asked, “What can we do to better protect our youth football and lacrosse players?” SLI supported Westport with education & training programs, modifications to practice, increased medical infrastructure, and guidance on rule changes  and Westport cut their concussions by more than 50%, and the few concussions that did occur were managed according to published best practices at the time. Read the case study here.
