Collaborating across Footballing Communities
Our tailored programs address the specific needs of different levels of play, from young children just starting in the sport to professional athletes. This ensures that all players receive the appropriate guidance and protection.
Our educational efforts are comprehensive, covering the latest research on the impacts of heading, best practices for safe play, and strategies for coaches and organisations to implement our recommendations. We also provide ongoing support to help clubs and teams adapt to these changes and maintain a high standard of player safety.
“For families like mine, it is too late, and we are forced to live with the heartbreaking reality of CTE every day. But for current and future generations, together we must ensure that we take action now to tackle the elephant in the room and eliminate this cruel brain disease from football.”
