FAQs
What Makes this Work?
We've sourced hundreds of studies to find those with the highest correlation with reduced concussion risk (feel free to view the research aboive). Then, we combined all this research into a protocol that can be layered into an athlete's training without taking too much additional time.
Will I Really Get My Money Back if I Get a Concussion?
Yes, 100%. We made this to reduce concussion risk as much as possible. There isn't a protocol that is better for concussion reduction and we wanted to stake our names on it. No one who has followed this protocol has gotten a concussion. Our accountants are making us restrict it to one full season.
What Makes You Qualified to Make These Promises?
Our founder, Will, has over 5 years' experience in Strength and Conditioning where he worked with coaches in all four professional leagues on training algorithms. He hired the sport science consultants that pro sports use. Their solution has resulted in a concussion incidence rate of zero so far.
How do you Deliver the Programming?
All programming is delivered digitally via mobile app. After purchase, you will receive the link to download the app and it will come pre-loaded with your training. Additionally, you will take a supplementation intake questionnaire to assess which supplements are best for you.
