She also discusses the difficult decisions families face when children want to play contact sports, why awareness must extend beyond diagnosed concussions, and how her surviving sons now approach football differently.\nThrough the RL3 Foundation, Tiana and her family are carrying forward Ray Ray’s love of children, football, music, and people. Their work includes CTE education, mental-health awareness, prevention grants for high-school football programs, community events, and advocacy for stronger informed-consent protections in youth sports.\nThis is a deeply personal conversation about grief, faith, accountability, and a mother’s determination to ensure that her son’s life—and his death—lead to meaningful change.\nProduction note: This previously recorded episode features Corey Berry and was filmed before his departure from The HeadRush Podcast.\nLearn more about the RL3 Foundation at RL3Foundation.com.\nPodcast Sponsors\nThe HeadRush Podcast proudly recognizes:\nPatrick Risha CTE Awareness Foundation — Learn about repeated head impacts, CTE prevention, family resources, and brain-healthy teams at StopCTE.org.\nMillennium Health Centers — Helping veterans, athletes, first responders, and others address the underlying effects of brain trauma through the Millennium Protocol.
