Publisher's Synopsis
You have probably heard or read about major athletes quitting their elite careers midway as a result of sustaining injuries. These injuries affect not only their careers but also their mental and physical health! And that someone so talented in a sport is forced to leave the field is such a pity!
And this book will bring you a SO GREAT story behind the heart of Hummingbird Sports and why the author, his family, and friends created the first-ever ASTM-approved girls'/women's lacrosse headgear.
Throughout the book, there are stories from girls who have suffered life-changing head injuries while playing lacrosse, most often from a single ball or stick to their unprotected heads. Also, the author gives you knowledge: the science behind why all girls who play lacrosse need to be wearing head protection today.
The story of how the author and his team at Hummingbird Sports struggled through the ups and downs of making state-of-the-art headgear. But that was just the beginning. They were dumbfounded by the venomous resistance they often encountered from US Lacrosse and other long-time members of the lacrosse community who were vehemently opposed to the introduction of headgear despite the large number of head injuries sustained in girls' lacrosse. Backed by science and inspired by the courageous girls who shared their heartbreaking experiences of dealing with traumatic brain injuries, they continue to fight for change to protect girls now and in the future. US Lacrosse will eventually mandate headgear in girls' lacrosse, but how many more girls will have to suffer unnecessarily until that happens?
Their company soon became a groundbreaking girls' lifestyle and sports equipment brand. The story of the author and his team's journey through successes, grueling failures, relationships made with industry leaders, the patent process, and the fight to make positive change is an inspiration for anyone passionate about taking chances and having a meaningful, long-lasting impact on the world.
THIS BOOK IS REALLY WORTH READING! IT'LL GIVE YOU NOT ONLY AN INCREDIBLE STORY ABOUT THE FIGHT TO SAVE THE GIRLS FROM CONCUSSIONS IN LACROSSE BUT ALSO THE COURAGE TO FOLLOW YOUR DREAM AND MAKE IT BECOME TRUE!
