"Atavus is working hard to develop ways that allow coaches to teach their players the appropriate way to tackle. At all levels, players and coaches need to be educated on the proper ways to tackle, and the dangers of improper tackling."
— Bobby Wagner | Linebacker - Washington Commanders
“We all know many blows to the head is not good for the brain. I’m a big believer in Atavus’ overall approach to tackling because it specifically takes the head out of contact. The Atavus Tackle Analysis also categorizes and factors in head position in the tackle - no one else is doing that.”
— Dr. Art Maelender | Research Director - Big 10-Ivy League TBI Research Collaboration, Director of Clinical Research - Center for Brain, Biology, and Behavior at University of Nebraska, Lincoln
“We are fully committed to this (Atavus). It’s the right thing to do. But the really neat thing about this whole thing is, not only is it the right thing to do because it is the right thing to do, (but) because it’s the safe thing to do, it’s a better way of tackling.”
— Chris Petersen | Former Head Coach - University of Washington
