“Prior to bracing our offensive linemen, at least one starting offensive linemen had missed games every season for the previous five years due to knee injuries. As often as they wear their helmets, they wear their knee braces. It is an investment that is well worth it.”
- Barney Graff, ATC
Head Football and Wrestling Athletic Trainer, Oregon State University
"I firmly believe we would have won 2 more state championships in my tenure, if we had just braced earlier."
- Rush Propst
Head Football Coach, Hoover High School
2004, 2003, and 2002 Alabama State Champions
“Our offensive line coach has called the knee braces career savers...after reviewing film of practices he has noted on several occasions that serious knee injuries were avoided because of the brace. I know that we have decreased the number and severity of knee injuries to offensive linemen due to the prophylactic bracing.”
- Scott Oliaro, MA, ATC-L
Kenan Football Sports Medicine Supervisor, University of North Carolina
“The number one fallacy is that injuries are inherent; that they are going to happen no matter what you do. A vast number of injuries are completely preventable.”
- David H. Janda, M.D.
Director of the Institute for Preventative Sports Medicine
"Athletes have told me that they feel they might have been on a surgical table many times with an ACL injury if it wasn't for the braces. Our athletes accept wearing them: they see the results".
- Russ Haynes, MS, ATC, LAT
Associate Director of Athletic Training Services, University of Iowa
“The cost-to-benefit ratio is significant when you look at costs of braces vs. the loss of patient participation time, loss in production, quality of life, surgical expenses, etc.”
- Rod Walters, DA, ATC
Director of Sports Medicine and Associate AD, University of South Carolina
“We had to brace them. We've been disappointed too many times in the past few years, not being able to play a kid because he's got a slight knee sprain.”
- Jack Cosgrove
Head Football Coach, University of Maine
