It is designed to increase on-field performance while simultaneously reducing head and neck injuries from helmet contact on the field. The philosophy is safety through superior technique by eliminating the use of the helmet, since repeated head contact is the underlying cause of concussions and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). Tip of the Spear is the only program to gain adoption at all levels of the game, from youth to the NFL, as well as the only program to boast proven results in prevention.
