the mouthpiece has a gyroscope that
understands where you're moving
[Music]
everything is measuring through most
acceleration or deceleration
[Music]
it told us exactly where that helmet was
contacted whether it was in the front
the back for the very top of the helmet
it also told us the intensity was it a
low medium or moderate hit or a high
velocity hit
[Music]
the data we received is every single hit
from every single practice in every
single game for one team so it's like
20,000 data points
what we found in the data is that if a
player becomes fatigued their head drops
these players mainly get in the back of
the head and we have hypothesized
they're getting hit in the front and
hitting the back of their head on the
ground
when they headed my son went straight to
the ground not only did he have a
frontal impact he also had a rear impact
is affected his cognitive thinking is
affected his balance it is also affected
his short-term memory and pride never
step foot on the field again I did
experience a concussion end of the 2015
season we were playing against the
Houston Texans I felt it right away so I
kind of raised my hand and I was like
you know what I'm that good
[Music]
by studying the data of the impacts we
can improve training we can improve game
performance
we started teaching through tackles
where instead of tackling where their
heads in front of that player they
tackle with the head to the side of the
player

qualifies for to be the same sport
possibly and ooh it's hot back sport
