Dr. Joseph C. Maroon is a Clinical Professor of Neurosurgery at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, longtime team neurosurgeon to the Pittsburgh Steelers, and neurosurgical consultant for WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment). He received his education at Indiana University, Georgetown, University of Vermont, and Oxford University, England and has authored hundreds of scientific peer-reviewed papers and books. Dr. Maroon also co- developed the ImPACT® neurocognitive test for concussion management, now a standard of care for the NFL and all contact sports. A former scholastic All-American in football at Indiana University, Dr. Maroon is also now a world-class triathlete and Ironman. Yet, he hasn’t always been at the top of his game. At the age of 40, Dr. Maroon was so unfit that he struggled climbing a flight of stairs and was depressed to the point of not wanting to continue to live. We will learn how he overcame these challenges and has risen above defeat.
