[14] A Dean’s Journey in Kinesiology, Leadership, & Concussion Awareness (ft. Nathan Murata)

Nathan Murata traces his career from playing contact sports (and sustaining early concussions) to leading groundbreaking research on concussion protocols across Hawaii’s public and private schools. He discusses the Hawaii Concussion Awareness and Management Program (HCAMP), state-mandated baseline testing, and surprising local data revealing high concussion rates in sports like girls’ judo. The conversation underscores how data-driven advocacy led to legislative change (Act 262) and safer practices statewide.
