Ryan Suarez


"We don't know exactly how much [the headgear] reduced the force of [the impact] but I just thank God I didn't care for the stereotypes and I was wearing that thing because I might not be here talking to you had I not worn it."

He played his first cap for the Men's U.S. National Team in 2003. In 2004, Ryan moved to the LA Galaxy where he was voted fans' "Player of the Year" and in 2005 he moved on to Chivas USA.

Joy Fawcett


"I have played soccer nearly my entire life and I have seen countless head injuries. Unfortunately, many of them have been quite serious. I am very excited to see the Full90 Performance Headguard. It is the only product that I have ever seen that protects the player from head injury, while not inhibiting performance or providing the player with an unfair advantage."


AS a graduate of UC Berkeley, Joy joined the US Women's National Team in 1987. A founding member of the WUSA, Joy retired from the Women's National Team in 2004. She was the only Women's National Team member to play all minutes of the 1995, 1999, and 2003 Women's World Cups, as well as the 1996 and 2000 Olympic Games.

She was one of the founding members of the WUSA's San Diego Spirit and also played as a member of the US Women's National Team that won the Gold Medal at the 1996 Summer Olympics as well as the 1999 Women's World Cup.
