Send us a text

In this powerful episode of Broken Brains with Bruce Parkman, presented by the Mac Parkman Foundation, host Bruce Parkman sits down with Super Bowl Champion and former NFL tight end Ben Utecht to uncover the harsh realities of repetitive brain trauma and life after the NFL. Ben shares his deeply personal journey through concussions, memory loss, and identity struggles—offering insight into how brain injuries can alter not just performance, but purpose.

Now an author, speaker, and brain health advocate, Ben talks about building “championship culture” off the field and using his platform to raise awareness about player safety, cognitive rehabilitation, and the mental health challenges many athletes and veterans face. This episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned with the long-term impacts of sports injuries, TBI, and mental resilience.
