Two middle school (ages 11-14) football teams will be in Aim 1 of this study. All interested athletes on these teams will be invited to voluntarily participate in biomechanical data collection; of those enrolled, 15-20 per team will be randomly selected for instrumentation with head impact sensors. In aim 3, two youth football teams at the middle school level will be recruited to pilot an intervention developed this study. The football coaches of each team will be prospectively recruited and enrolled.
