New Technology Helps to Athlete Head Injuries
by BEYONDtheCheers in Sports
Tags: gForce Tracker Concussion Sensor Sports safety concussion monitor Body contact
Over 3.8 million sport-related brain injuries occur every year in North America. These injuries have been linked to CTE and other diseases that cause headaches, vision problems, anger, depression, and suicide.
Studies have shown that concussions are on the rise. According to the US Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the number of emergency room visits for traumatic brain injuries related to sports and recreation has increased by 62% from 2001-2009.
The Guardian was developed based on work done with another helmet manufacturer on the Gladiator helmet. The Gladiator is a revolutionary soft-shelled helmet. It has been proven on the field and in the laboratory that soft sided helmets reduce the Severity Index and Head Injury Criteria.
No product can fully protect your child from a head injury; the Guardian can reduce the magnitude of impacts to the head. The Guardian reduces the impact of hits to the head up to 33% GuardianCaps join us LIVE, at BEYONDtheCheers on blogtalkradio, Wednesday June 19 @ 7PM at to discuss this exciting new technology and the numerous applications.

Concussions Can Be Deadly
by BEYONDtheCheers in Sports
Tags: concussions sport concussions dealing with concussion symptoms life altered from concussions concussions can kill
Daniel Brett loved the game of football. Even as his football career began at the age of eleven, Daniel’s dream was to play for the University of Miami Hurricane. He was tough and versatile playing offense, defense and special teams, rarely leaving the field.
He loved it and was good at it.
Daniel suffered a number of concussions during his young playing career, but never complained. He never told anyone he was hurt until August 24, 2009.
Daniel never told anyone – neither coaches nor his parents – how many times he got hit in the head, was sick, dizzy, and had headaches. A Tylenol here and there was all he asked for.
Eventually he was diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome.
Nothing helped his chronic headaches, growing depression, sluggishness, nor his apathy. Daniel’s value judgment and behavior deteriorated as he tried in vain to alleviate his pain through self-medication.
Daniel took his own life in May 2011 as a result of the several disabilities resulting from his brain injury.
Dealing with a child with post-concussion syndrome doesn’t come in the parents manual for kids.
Diana Brett joins us in conversation to share her family’s story with others to raise parental awareness. Listen or call in LIVE on Wednesday April 17 @ 7PM EST at BEYONDtheCheers on blogtalkradio. Dial-in TOLL FREE 1-877-357-2448 in Canada and United States to ask a question, or email in advance.
