Sports Brain will also provide a variety of programming and training for Full Force which includes:
• Baseline concussion testing utilizing current technologies in neurocognitive, vision tracking, balance testing and virtual reality.

“We commend Full Force Lacrosse for taking a strong, proactive stance in the battle against concussions,” said Roy Kessel, Founder of Sports Brain. “Many organizations are reluctant to impose strict requirements on their athletes. By contrast, Full Force has mandated that every athlete in their lacrosse programs receive comprehensive baseline concussion testing before they will be allowed to participate in full contact practices.”

We know that Sports Brain continues to take a leadership role in the fight against concussions and will provide us with tremendous support for this important battle.”
“It is important for us to continue to help educate parents, coaches and athletes about the dangers of concussions,” said Roy Kessel. “It is always gratifying to see innovative youth organizations taking a leadership role in incorporating new technologies and solutions to educate their coaches, parents, and athletes which hopefully leaders to better return-to-play and return-to-learn decisions.”
