I played football from Junior High through College. I wonder… I wonder if some of the things I have delt with over the years, some of my thoughts, some of the things I feel could come from playing football and head injuries. I watched these videos and can not tell you how many times the tears came to my eyes. These were some of the strongest men in the world and they were reduced to a fraction of the person they once were. I am asking you to watch these videos, do some research and watch others, then contact me. I want to talk to others who want to make a difference, maybe not for these people but others, young kids who have no idea what they are in for, parents of kids who have no idea what could possibly happen to their children. I want to be a part of making a difference. The first step I am taking is to team up with Mark Asanovich & Ralph Cornwell to hold a Certified Head & Neck Training Specialist Course and Certification at my place of business, Vertex Fitness Personal Training Studio located in Bryn Mawr, PA on May 18th & 19th, 2012. Please contact me for more details.
