My Nonprofit Reviews

The program first approached me as they developed their materials for Crash Course, a concussion awareness program. I partnered with them due to a shared interest in increasing awareness of how best to approach this issue holistically. As head of a high school football program, I am entrusted with anywhere from 80-120 players each year, and any tool that can help protect them is something that I want to pursue.

I came on board as an advisor, helping to develop materials and recruiting other programs and athletes to the process. We have test-piloted materials developed from these early stages, plus this has opened up other possibilities for us (such as a program gathering data via mouthpieces to measure impact).

The program has developed and expanded greatly since then, reaching over 100 million athletes, parents, and coaches in multiple sports. Its value as a resource is undeniable, and being a small part of this has been a high point of my career as a coach and educator.
