The most competitive athletes are drawn to the most high-impact moments of the game — and that makes them more vulnerable to concussions and repetitive head impacts. These sub-concussive hits may not cause symptoms right away, but over time they can disrupt how the brain and body communicate.

Our goal is simple: give athletes the tools to protect their head, play more effectively, and stay on the field longer.

It’s no coincidence that contact sport athletes sustain more ACL tears than non-contact athletes. Even when skill and competition level are equal, professional female soccer players tear their ACLs 4.5 to 11 times more often than professional tennis players — despite both requiring agility, speed, and quick directional changes (Jildeh et al., 2021; Parmar et al., 2025). The difference lies not only in the legs, but in the signals that tell those muscles when and how to move.

After a concussion, athletes are significantly more likely to suffer a lower-body injury. The whiplash forces from head impacts can weaken and uncoordinate the upper neck muscles, disrupting the brain’s ability to process rapid movement feedback — what we call neuromuscular firing patterns.

This connection between the head and the lower body is especially important for female athletes. Women experience more repetitive head impacts due to differences in head-to-neck ratio and less cerebrospinal cushioning around the brain. Picture stabilizing a pumpkin on a broomstick versus a fence post — a stronger, wider base means better control.

Over time, these repeated impacts impair how the neck stabilizes the head, which can cascade into faulty neuromuscular control throughout the body — contributing to what’s now called the ACL crisis in women’s soccer.

Our approach addresses this at the source: strengthening the neck, restoring neuromuscular efficiency, and redefining how we prepare the body for contact.
