Our Athletes

The list of top-tier athletes who are taking their knee and ankle well-being into their own hands is growing. These are athletes who know they're only going to be as good as they are healthy. So they've aligned with SmartStudsTM technology to take a proactive approach to doing something about non-contact ankle and knee injuries. Look for them on the field, at the top of their game--NOT on the sidelines nursing a needless injury.
