Dear Parents,

Our Grayson Program is always searching for ways to enhance our students’ competitive edge both physically and mentality. As one of the top programs in the state, we have an opportunity to purchase the EDGE Performance Mouthguard for our players. These mouthguards are very limited in supply and will not even be introduced to the public until late 2010 or early 2011.

It is a centuries-old phenomenon that using oral appliances to position the jaw will enhance performance. You’ve probably seen movies where a soldier bites a stick or bullet when undergoing surgery. What you might not know is that in ancient Greece, athletes bit down on leather straps during competition; Viking warriors and Roman legionnaires bit down on leather thongs when entering battle; Native American women giving birth would bite down on a stick. These groups of people knew that preventing their teeth from clenching together, would give them the edge they needed to get through and even excel at strenuous or punishing activities.

EDGE Sports has spent nine years in research and has 48 patents protecting their technology. The researchers of Bite Tech (at places such as, The Citadel, the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab, University of Tennessee, and University of Minnesota, among others) have an oral appliance that will position the lower jaw slightly down and forward consequently relieving pressure on the `paper-thin' base of the skull and the brain seated directly above that.

EDGE Sports has brought this technology into the and we now have the opportunity to bring it to the Grayson Football Program.

The benefits of wearing the EDGE Performance Mouthguard are phenomenal:

• Significantly reduce the risk of Concussion (22% reduction of G-Force Impact) • Increased Strength (up to 20%) • Increased Endurance (17% average) • Faster Reaction Times (up to a 49% decrease in time) • Lower Heart Rates during Warm up, Activity, and Cool-Down • Increased Blood Flow • Increases Concentration and Focus • Increases Oxygen Uptake and Calorie Burn

A major component of the effectiveness of the EDGE Performance Mouthguard is its ability to reduce the level of the naturally occurring stress hormone, Cortisol, in a person's body. Excess Cortisol is responsible for increased fatigue, limiting peripheral vision and the body's ability to build new muscle, decreasing the immune system and metabolism, causing hostility, negative moods, depression, and weight gain.

By wearing the EDGE, a person's Cortisol levels are reduced by an astonishing 49% . This allows them to perform at their physical and mental best.

Hundreds of professional athletes, in several sports, wear the EDGE , including NFL Players Adrian Peterson of the and of the .

The EDGE Performance Mouthguard will retail for $99.99 to the general public when it is introduced. However, it is being offered to our players at a team discount of $69.00, over 30% off retail.

The entire Grayson Coaching Staff would like our student athletes to have a competitive edge both academically and athletically. The EDGE Performance Mouthguard will give them that edge!
