A PATENT PENDING PRODUCT BY POC VENTURES IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CREATORS OF PROCAP
POC, Protecting Our Children, is a company I created after seeing a need for better protective headgear for kids wanting to play their hearts out. I’m the mom of five, 4 girls and a boy, and it’s my job to make sure they make it to adulthood with whatever intelligence we managed to pass on. We partnered with a company called ProCap who have over 30 years of helmet research and development.
I read the news like the rest of you, and the information out there on the long-term effects of concussions is disturbing, to say the least. Did you know that most concussions are suffered during practice, days before the big game? Did you know that over 800 former NFL players are suing the league for long term effects of the concussions and head injuries they suffered while playing with helmets very similar to the ones our children are wearing today?
The helmet guys are trying by loading the interior of the helmets with padding, but it’s just not enough. Two hard helmets banging together is loud and you can only imagine the effects. Two soft helmets dissipate the force and protect the head. The car guys understood this early on by replacing the old car bumpers made of hard steel with the softer bumpers we have today. They also added seat belts and then added another layer of protection when they put in soft air bags. We're not saying the hard shelled helmets today aren't good, we just know that adding another layer of protection could help stop this concussion epidemic.
We have loads of research to back us up and testing that shows GUARDIAN™ can reduce the impact on your child’s head up to 35%. Read our research and meet our panel of experts. We have former Pro-Bowl NFL stars that wish they had known what we know now, Neurosurgeons, and lots of really smart people who all want one thing…to keep the thrill of the game while eliminating long-term repercussions.
Hoping to keep kids healthy,
Erin

A LETTER FROM THE OWNER OF POC VENTURES
In a shared quest to reduce head, neck and spine injuries, strides have been made in equipment design and technology; but not enough. A bolder approach is called for. That new approach is the Guardian™
Concussions are more prominent in football than ever, and the Guardian™ is the newest progressive technology that will reduce dangerous head injuries in everyday practice.
Using a soft urethane material attached to the outside of a regulation football helmet, the Guardian™ absorbs the majority of the impact produced by a helmet to helmet collision. The new sleek and stylish design provides the protection needed with no noticeable change in weight or feel.
Our job as parents, coaches, and athletic directors is to protect our kids. Our children love their sports, and we enjoy watching, but we don't want to see them hurt. It is our responsibility to give them every protection possible. The Guardian™ is the protective equipment that should be mandated for all practices. After all, our children's brains deserve the most protection available.
We are looking for Independent Sales Representatives across the USA to help spread the word about the Guardian and work with local schools and sports leagues. Please contact us.
