My Journey

I Broke MY foot So I Built A Brand

TOTAL GUARD SPORTS started as an idea I had after breaking my foot while playing soccer in college. The whole recovery process lasted about a year and my body was never the same.

After my injury, I was inspired to build Total Guard Sports. TGS is a brand that is dedicated to designing protective equipment for soccer players at every level. We acknowledge the effort and stress that sports can put on a player’s body. And our products will be designed to provide the best protection for players before, during, and after matches.

In the general population, nearly half of all ankle sprains (49.3 percent) occur during athletic activity. (Waterman et al., 2010). Research has found that the peak incidence rate of ankle sprains occurs in individuals between the ages of 10 and 19. The athletes within this age range are 6 to 9 times more likely to injure their ankle playing sports, than those in the 50 to 59 year old range (Waterman et al., 2010).

My ultimate goal for this brand is to help as many soccer players as possible, by designing products that prevent serious injuries and improve recovery. After going through the experience of breaking my foot and learning about the high risk of foot and ankle injuries due to sport, I am confident that TOTAL GUARD SPORTS is a soccer brand for the future.
