Georgia Tech Football
Background
- After seeing TopSpin Technologies win the NFL 1st and Future Award for Innovations to Advance Athlete Health and Safety, committed to protecting their players in the offseason using TopSpin360
- In spring of 2021, began by training the highest risk players from the football team
- These players all had either a history of concussion, history of neck pain or history of headaches (or all of the above)
Intervention
- 13 players were selected as the highest concussion/ neck injury risk players ahead of the 2021 season
- 3 sets of 30 revolutions, twice per week, equalling less than 5-minutes of training per athlete per week
Results
- Georgia Tech carried 123 players on their roster in 2021
- The team experienced 13 concussions that season
- The projected number of concussions from the highest risk cohort that trained on the TopSpin360 was between 5-9
- The actual number of concussions experienced by this highest risk group: ZERO!
- First bowl game win in 8 years!
