ALEX MORLAN, Springfield Local Middle School
“My name is Alex Morlan. I am writing you this letter to thank you for the Shockstrips. This was my third year playing football for Springfield Local Schools. Last year during a playoff game, I hit a player on the other team and knocked him out. After I felt really bad about it and almost gave up football. This year, I put Shockstrips on my helmet and I really felt a big difference. Now when I hit another kid, my helmet feels better, kind of like softer when we hit. The big crack that I used to hear is now gone. I am a big kid for my age and I measure six foot, 1 inch and weigh 210 pounds. I think with my uncle’s help and the Shockstrips, I might have a good chance of playing football for the pros. There are 2 other kids on my team that wore the strips this year and they liked them a lot too. All the other kids want to get them for this next year. Thank you very much for caring enough about me to give me the strips and I hope everybody will start wearing them. My mother also thanks you. She says she feels better about me playing football now that my head is safe.”
