Proud to support the team at HEADCHECK Health, the leader in digital concussion protocol management. Having spent my career in sports, I’ve been asked, “How do we solve the concussion problem?” more times than I can count. HEADCHECK Health is a foundational part of the solution, and I’m looking forward to jumping in to do my part. Here’s why I’ve chosen to join HEADCHECK’s Board of Directors: 1. Concussions and head trauma continue to be deeply detrimental to individual athletes and one of the biggest threats to the future of sports. 2. Over 50% of concussions are not managed properly. Concussion protocol exists, and it gives us our best shot at recognizing and managing concussions quickly, IF it is followed. 3. Tech has to play a big role in the solution. We need entrepreneurs attacking this problem, at both the prevention and the treatment stage. 4. HEADCHECK’s tech is actively making an impact within the teams and organizations it serves, driving 200%+ increases in proper concussion handling. This is a must-have product category for teams in contact sports. 5. HEADCHECK's leadership and team are top notch. I look to work with founders who have the ambition to create big impact, the humility to learn along the way, and the persistence to power through when it gets hard. Harrison Brown, Kerry C., and their team are the full package.
