OUR FIGHT AGAINST CONCUSSIONS
Injury Today. Lifetime Risk Tomorrow
Because One Hit Shouldn’t Change a Life.
Beyond the Game: The Truth About Concussions
For decades, concussions were dismissed as minor setbacks, something athletes could simply walk off. But today, science has made it clear that a concussion is a traumatic brain injury disrupting brain function, with effects that can last far beyond the moment of impact.
- For parents and coaches, this means a new way of thinking:
It’s not just about the hit, it’s about what happens afterward. Concussions can affect a child’s:- Memory
- Concentration
- Mood
- Physical coordination
Symptoms like headaches, dizziness, confusion, or irritability can linger for weeks or months. Left untreated, these injuries can impact school, social life, and overall well-being.
Repeated hits have been shown to increase the risk of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), with higher accumulated linear and rotational forces being linked to higher risk of CTE**. Repeated concussions also raise the risk of lasting brain damage and serious health problems, including neurological disorders such as CTE. This is not just a professional athlete issue, children and teens are especially vulnerable because their brains are still developing.
The Real Risk of Traumatic Brain Injury
of young contact-sport athletes showed CTE (chronic brain damage) at death, even if they never played professionally.
increased risk of premature death before age 41 for children who have experienced multiple concussions.
The data is clear: concussions are more than a momentary injury. The risks are long-lasting, and the danger grows with every hit. It’s time to take action before it’s too late.

Dr. Charles Popkin
Team Physician, USA Hockey
Member of the G8RTech Medical Advisory Committee
As a dedicated team doctor, entrusted with the health and safety of athletes, I am excited to recommend G8RSkin. I have concluded that G8RSkin’s proprietary solution represents a significant advancement in the ongoing effort to minimize the risk of concussions in sports and so, am pleased to serve on the Medical Advisory Committee for G8RTech.
Tested at the Southern Impact Research Center G8RSkin effectively redistributes energy from violent impacts while minimizing the rotational forces on the head that contribute to concussions.
G8RSkin - Built to Battle Concussions
Engineered to work alongside helmets, G8RSkin absorbs and dissipates the remaining impact energy by temporarily hardening on contact before returning to its flexible form. This innovative material design maximizes surface area and reduces head acceleration. In lab tests, this advanced protection has been shown to reduce concussion risk by up to 79%*, delivering powerful, science-backed protection for athletes at every level.
Advanced Technology
Utilizes cutting-edge materials and design for superior impact absorption.
Enhanced Protection
Reduces rotational forces and linear impacts, mitigating concussion risks.
Unparalleled Comfort
Lightweight and breathable, ensuring peak performance without compromise.
