Randy O'Shaughnessy has spent nearly 25 years in junior football — co-founding the Regina Thunder, rising through the ranks, and eventually becoming President of the Prairie Football Conference. In this episode of HEADCHECK Health Talks, Randy talks about what volunteer league leadership actually looks like day-to-day, how he pushed all six PFC clubs onto a unified concussion protocol, and the remarkable story of a team that cut its concussions in half after HEADCHECK data traced the problem to a single practice drill. He also shares why mental health is the next conversation junior football can't afford to avoid.
