Vermilion High School Football Team Chooses Athlete Intelligence to Elevate Player Safety
Innovative Head Impact Monitoring and Data Analytics Partner Enhances Concussion Care for the Sailors
Vermilion High School Football has taken a proactive step in ensuring the safety and well-being of their athletes by selecting Athlete Intelligence as their Head Impact Monitoring and Data Analytics partner. This strategic decision underscores the Sailors’ commitment to integrating cutting-edge technology into their concussion care protocols.
The journey began when the Athletic Director (AD) requested a trial of the Athlete Intelligence system. This trial provided the coaching and Athletic Training staff with a firsthand look at the benefits of head impact monitoring. “During the trial, we saw what a useful addition it would be for our concussion care system,” noted the team’s Athletic Trainer, Dan Schultz MBA, LAT, ATC, CSCS, PES. The insights gained from the trial solidified the decision to make Athlete Intelligence a permanent part of their safety measures.
CUE+ Helmet Sensor: A Game-Changer in Player Safety
At the heart of this new partnership is the CUE+ Helmet Sensor—a powerful tool designed by Athlete Intelligence to monitor and analyze head impacts in real-time. The CUE+ sensor is seamlessly integrated into each player’s helmet, providing critical data on the location, force, and frequency of head impacts. This data is instantly transmitted to coaches and athletic trainers, enabling them to make informed decisions about player safety on the spot.
The Vermilion staff is particularly enthusiastic about the live data capabilities that the CUE+ Helmet Sensor offers. “I am excited to see the live data in use,” the Athletic Trainer shared, emphasizing how this feature will allow the team to monitor head impacts as they happen and respond promptly to potential injuries. With real-time alerts, coaches can immediately assess whether a player needs to be evaluated for a concussion, thereby reducing the risk of further injury.
Athlete Intelligence: Beyond Just Monitoring
Athlete Intelligence doesn’t just stop at impact monitoring; it also provides comprehensive data analytics that can help improve training and reduce the risk of injury over time. The platform aggregates data collected from the CUE+ Helmet Sensors and translates it into actionable insights. Coaches and athletic trainers can access detailed reports that highlight patterns in head impacts, identify players who may be at higher risk, and adjust training techniques to minimize dangerous plays.
This level of data-driven decision-making is what sets Athlete Intelligence apart. It empowers coaches to tailor their coaching strategies based on empirical evidence, ultimately enhancing player performance while prioritizing safety.
Setting a New Standard for High School Football
By choosing Athlete Intelligence, Vermilion High School Football is not only enhancing player safety but also setting a standard for other teams to follow. The integration of the CUE+ Helmet Sensor and the advanced analytics provided by Athlete Intelligence reflects the Sailors’ dedication to providing their athletes with the best possible care. This partnership ensures that every player can compete with confidence, knowing their well-being is being closely monitored. 
Vermilion High School is leading the charge in prioritizing athlete safety through technology, proving that winning on the field doesn’t have to come at the cost of player health. As the Sailors prepare for the upcoming season, they do so with the assurance that Athlete Intelligence is on their side—helping them safeguard their most valuable asset: their players.
