WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“The H.U.T. Strap has the potential to revolutionize heads up fundamentals for tackle football. It is an outstanding training tool for the future of the game.”
“We use the H.U.T. Strap every practice with our linemen. It reinforces what we are coaching for both player safety and performance.”
H.U.T. Strap training Satisfies the National Athletic Trainers Association's Safe-play Recommendations
Each time a player initiates contact with his head down, he risks paralysis. The primary cause of these catastrophic cervical spine injuries (CSI) is axial loading. Head-down contact is the only technique that results in axial loading. Catastrophic CSI resulting from axial loading is not prevented by players' standard equipment.
The National Athletic Trainers' Association found that injuries which occur as a result of head-down contact are technique related and are preventable through the elimination of head-down contact. The NATA urges correct, heads-up contact technique to be taught at the earliest organized level.
Initiating contact with the shoulder and chest while keeping the head up is the safest way to play football, but it is a technique that must be learned. To be learned, it must be practiced extensively. It is imperative that coaches teach, demonstrate, and practice the ‘heads up’ technique. That’s where H.U.T. Strap comes in. The easy-to-use tool naturally trains players to keep their heads up through proprioception, biofeedback and muscle memory without limiting the player's range of motion.
