Product details
It's a No-Brainer: An Entrepreneur's Battle to Reduce Concussions in Girls' Lacrosse is the story behind the heart of Hummingbird Sports and why Rob Stolker and his family and friends created the first-ever ASTM-approved girls'/women's lacrosse headgear.
Throughout the book, you will hear stories from girls who have suffered life-changing head injuries while playing lacrosse, most often from a single ball or stick to their unprotected heads. Rob also shares the science behind why all girls who play lacrosse need to be wearing head protection today.
It's a No-Brainer tells the story of how Rob Stolker and his team at Hummingbird Sports struggled through the ups and downs of making state-of-the-art headgear. But that was just the beginning. They were dumbfounded by the venomous resistance they often encountered from US Lacrosse and other long time members of the lacrosse community who were vehemently opposed to the introduction of headgear despite the large number of head injuries sustained in girls' lacrosse. Backed by science and inspired by the courageous girls who shared their heartbreaking experiences of dealing with traumatic brain injuries, Rob and the team continue to fight for change to protect girls now and in the future. US Lacrosse will eventually mandate headgear in girls' lacrosse, but how many more girls will have to suffer unnecessarily until that happens?
The company soon became a groundbreaking girls' lifestyle and sports equipment brand. The story of Rob Stolker and his team's journey through successes, grueling failures, relationships made with industry leaders, the patent process, and the fight to make positive change is an inspiration for anyone passionate about taking chances and having a meaningful, long-lasting impact on the world.
Author's BIO:
Rob Stolker began his career in day trading, moved on to develop real estate, and eventually started and ran a successful solar panel installation company. Creating the innovative Hummingbird headgear has been his life's second greatest achievement and has become the legacy he wants to leave for his wonderful daughters, the raising of whom is his proudest achievement.
