FOOTBALL - From: Coast High School:
Last year I was able to purchase the Brain pad lo pro mouth guards for
some of the players on our football team. Again this time of year we are
looking to place an order but this year the coach is making these mouth
pieces mandatory due to the reduction in concussions as well as the
brain -pad’s ability to comfort and allow clearance for a player who had
subluxed his jaw last year!
Let’s just say he was impressed.
Thank you, Meaghan Beaudoin

FOOTBALL - From: The University of Tennessee,
Head Athletic Trainer -
"The rationale behind it is physiologically sound," said Keith Clements,
head athletic trainer at Tennessee where the football team has been
using Brain-Pad since 2003. "I can say without a shadow of a doubt,
from an anecdotal standpoint, it has helped us decrease our incidence
of concussions. It certainly helps prevent the sort of concussion that
occurs when someone gets hit in the jaw or they clench down their
teeth and take a blow. It creates a shock-absorber effect."

Hello Mr. Samuel,
Over the past year I have tried out Brain-Pads mouthpieces in my
school. You will be glad to here I have found your Brain-Pad mouthpieces
have worked like a charm in situations where a student would have been
knocked out from a "well placed kick". They have also been a mouthpiece
that provides great breathing ability durring a sparring match. Attached to
this email you will find an order for some Lo-Pro+ Mouthpieces. If you
would, could you also include some sales lititure or posters I could hang
in my school and put in my monthly news letters. I would like to spead
throughout the community, the effectiveness of Brain-Pads mouthpieces.
Thank You,

Ice Hockey - From: Karl Hecker (parent),
Once my son started checking, after the Pee-wee level, he began to
have headaches after practices and games.
After using the Brain-Pad guard, his headaches disappeared ! It was
really amazing to find out that the headaches were related to his lower
jaw being allowed to fly free and strike his TMJ sockets. It was night
and day, without and WITH the Brain-Pad. Amazing! It has been 5
seasons using the Brain-Pad now and "No headaches"
and no concussions either !
Great Product !
P.S. : We have already decided to try the CLENCHER guard
when he plays soccer this spring.
Thanks again !

MX - From: Father of Youth Rider Colton Bragg:
As a parent of an extreme athlete, I would hope we do as muchas
possible to protect our kids without impeding their competitiveness
in their sport. I believe the Brain-Pad will help him succeed, not
impede him. If it prevents one concussion or one broken tooth it
will have more than paid for itself.
Thank you for helping this parent be just a little less nervous when
he's flying over a 100' jump! By the way, he loves having the lanyard
attached so he can take it out when he wants to talk. He loves the
Brain-Pad, he will not ride unless he has it and even wears it around
his neck between races. We have had several people come up and
ask about the Brain-Pad and I don't have to say a word, Colt tells
them all about it and tells them he won't ride without it! What an
outstanding product!
Sincerely,
Eric Bragg, father - #92 Colton Bragg 65cc 7-9yr. old class

. . . we are heading to PA on Thurs. for the first regional. Racing is
Sat. and Sun. Colt was on fire and still should do well this weekend
but he has had two good spills the last two weeks:
The last crash he had, he took most of the impact on his head and
shoulder. He hit so hard he bit through the edge of the Brain-Pad
but never once complained of any head pain, just a bruised and
sprained shoulder and a shiner.
No way he walks away without a concussion
without the BRAIN-PAD mouthguard.
Know of six riders wearing the Brain-Pad now and had alot of
people ask about it at the out of state tracks.
PA, IL, OH, MI are where he has wins the last 5 weeks. Thanks!".

MX - From - Midwest Freestyle MA -
A BIG AIR exibition team
I thought I should let you know that we got a chance to get some
BIG AIR today and put your guards to the test.
No offence intended, but we were more or less expecting a bulky,
awkward piece of plastic better suited for use under a football or
hockey helmet.
You should be pleased to know that we could not have been more
wrong. We were very happy with how comfortable and easy to use
these guards were.
We plan on keeping them in our gear bags and using them in the
future.
I actually had a close encounter with my handlebars today and can't
tell you how excited I am to still have all of my teeth in place.
I was impressed.
Thanks again ! - Midwest Freestyle MX -

Hi, we are a female motocross team:
At a routine dental visit, i found out how much damage the motocross had
done to my jaw, including a crack in it!!
My husband had me get a mouth guard to use, and we picked Brain Pad
for lady athletes. It fits and is so much more comfortable!! We had a bad
spill, but I came out just fine and rode off.
No concussion and no jaw pain. Thank you for making a product for ladies!!
Keep up the good work!

RODEO - From: Cody's Mom, Marla Reynolds
I do hope this gets to the right place. My son Cody purchased your model
WIP-205 model. He wanted to join the High School Rodeo team this year.
However, before his helmet came in, him and two fo his buddies decided to
participate in a JR. Rodeo. Cody came down as the bull's head came up.
This knocked him out and he fell beneath the bull, the bull then stepped on
his chest. However, he was wearing a jacket. He did not receive any broken
ribs, he did receive a compressed lung which did inflate on its own. His jaw
was broken on both the left and right sides. I wish more kids would use these
safety products.
But thank you for your wonderful mouthpiece - Cody never lost any teeth
or had a concussion.
The doctors couldn't believe it.
I wish you could see the video. You would swear he would loss all his
teeth and have a concussion.
Thanks again for your wonderful product. I know Cody will be wearing
it everytime he climbs on a bull.
Cody's Mom, Marla Reynolds

My name is Joshua Skeen and I am a member in the top 10 of the
Florida highschool Rodeo association in the Bull Riding . I use you
brainpad mouth guard which you so graciously provided again this
year. I feel like you have given me the finest protection available
and would like to share a situation with you that I feel your product
saved me alot of damage to my face and possibly my BRAIN !!!
I was in Williston Florida at an open bullriding when I hung up to a
1800 lb high horned holy terror ! I was struck unlimited times in the
chin and face by this beast and even though I wear a helment ,
(which he had ripped off my head) I only sustained contusions and
minor head trauma which I credit to your mouth guard !!
Thank you and your great company so much for providing the
roughstock riders of the Florida Highschool Rodeo Association the
Brain Pad !!!

My son Josh took another bad fall last week that sent him to the
Trauma Unit by helicopter. And his best friend got bucked off and
stomped on pretty bad and was taken to the ER also; both of them
had catscans done with no head injuries found.
Both boys were wearing the LO-PRO model and along with their
protective vest; they both walked out of the hospital the same day.
Thank You,

FOOTBALL - Subject: H.S. Football Mother Testimonial
My son who is a Senior this year in high school had 2 severe
concussions in his Freshman year playing football. The doctor told
us he could only get one more and would be done playing sports.
The school sports trainer suggested that we look into a "Brain Pad"
mouth piece and gave me the name of a student in a surrounding
school who had the same situation. I talked to that student's mother
and she highly recommended it and said her son had been having
good luck with his. So I ordered one for his Sophomore year, even
after many hard tackles, no concussion, I bought another for his
Junior year, same story. I am buying one more for his senior year
and am planning on the same results!
We have been very happy with our purchases.

Bill,
The product is fantastic ! I have required all of our football players
who are able to wear them to do so. It is my understanding that
kids with braces cannot... Is this true?

Having seen them fight with other mouth guards I will only
ever let them fight with the mouth guard of champions...
Brain Pad. You have designed a superior product

" . . . of ALL the mouthguards I have
ever worn . . . I LOVE this one ! "
Tate Tatum
[ Tate uses the PRO+PLUS - Recommended
for Football Players.
The LoPro+ is also a very good choice for
football - A Slightly smaller but still protective guard.]
--------
Medical - From: Christy Halbert, Ph.D.
I put your new guard through my own test, and then introduced
the guards to my elite travel team. All three chose the Lo Pro+,
and all three boxers love it. I currently coach mostly female
boxers for international competition. The boxers and I have a lot
of boxing experience, and have tried dozens of mouth guards
over the years. Two of the boxers had previously reported not
being able to breathe easily through their nose when boxing.
Lo Pro+ has an opening that stays open, allowing air to pass easily,
even when clinching the teeth. The Lo Pro+ was easy to cut down
to size, and sets well. We would all recommend the Lo Pro+ to
anyone searching for a mouth guard.
I am already passing along our findings to the boxing/martial arts
people with whom I have contact. Safety of the boxer is our
utmost concern in amateur boxing. The recent death of Becky
Zerlentes is a harsh reminder that all sports carry risk. My intro-
duction to your company is timely, and I would like to continue the
discussion about mouthguards with you and the boxing family.

FOOTBALL - From: Michael Coons To: Bill Samuel.
Subject: Mouthpiece testimonial - from one of our player's mom:
"Dear Coach Coons,
I just wanted to tell you how wonderful the new mouthpiece has
been for Jason. He used to always have a headache after practices
and the football game. He would come home and take two
Extra-Strength Tylenol and it would help somewhat. Since using the
new mouthpiece, he has had no headaches! I don't know if it's
because he can breathe better or the alignment of his jaw is now
correct when using the mouthpiece. It's the best $20.00 I've spent !
Thank you so much for making the mouthpiece available to the team."
Sincerely,
April Sue Billings
Bill, How about that!!?

Bill,
Thanks for the Email. By the way, the BrainPad I used on my blue-chip
defensive lineman worked like a charm. He played an outstanding spring
game
(3 sacks, 11 tackles, 5 behind the line of scrimmage) in front of some of
the biggest scouts in college football (Ohio State, Florida, Florida State,
Miami,
Georgia, Alabama, Michigan, Oklahoma).
I give the BrainPad full credit for saving his playing career. I
highly endorse your product. No football player should be
without one.
