UNEQUAL® Technologies Partners With Briana Scurry, EXACT Soccer

(Newswire.net — June 2, 2016) Glen Mills, PA — Unequal® Technologies, makers of the fastest growing brand of soccer head protection, the Unequal HALO™, and EXACT Soccer, operators of regional and national elite soccer camps throughout the year, are excited to announce a new partnership that brings together two companies committed to the development and protection of the most important aspect of athletic success, your mind.

As part of the new partnership, 2-Time Olympic Gold Medalist and World Cup Champion Briana Scurry, a brand ambassador, will be joining the EXACT Academic 50 ID Camps as a featured speaker in Southern California (June 30-July 2), Connecticut (July 21-23), Dallas (July 25-27), and Chicago (July 28-30).  Briana will inspire, motivate and teach student-athletes from her unique perspective, while championing the need and benefits of Unequal protection. She’ll also meet with the parents of athletes and compare notes with college coaches in attendance.

“Exact Sport helps train the brain while Unequal helps protect the brain.  Now that’s what I call synergy,” said Jim Caldwell, Executive Vice-President of Unequal.  “Bri speaks from tragic experience when she helps young athletes realize the importance of Unequal head protection which helps them play as long as possible with the confidence champions need to win.”

Recent studies have shown the significant long term implications of even a single concussion. Yet protecting the shins is mandatory, and protecting the head is not? Introduced in January of 2015, the Unequal Halo has become the fastest growing brand of soccer head protection in the country. 100’s of high schools, colleges and clubs are already using the Halo involving tens of thousands of athletes. Halo protective headbands are FIFA Law 4 compliant and the 10mm Halo is tested to ASTM F2439-11. The partners see this alliance bringing together an essential piece of performance protection that lowers the risk of injury so athletes can spend more time applying EXACT techniques and less time watching from the sidelines.

EXACT’s Academic 50 ID Camp is the top college training camp in the United States for high school-aged youth soccer players. The program prepares the top youth players in the country for the rigors of college soccer by combining elite on-field training with EXACT’s mental performance curriculum. It is attended by over 50 college soccer coaches from some of the best colleges & universities in the United States.  

Sam Morgan, EXACT Sports said, “We are thrilled to be partnering with Unequal. EXACT believes an athlete’s mind can be his/her most powerful asset in driving performance and we see first-hand how important it is to protect that asset. By providing necessary protection in a head band players will wear, Unequal allows our athletes to focus even more energy on performing at the highest possible level,” Morgan said.
