Intervention
- 13 players were identified as having a history of neck-related concerns (including past concussions, neck pain, or headaches).

Results
- Georgia Tech’s 123-player roster recorded 13 concussions that season.
- Among the 13 athletes who trained with TopSpin360, these athletes had consistent player availability by improved resilience
- The team also achieved its first bowl game win in 8 years, marking a strong season overall.
