Rob Stolker was an entrepreneur on his business journey in real estate when his young daughters started playing lacrosse. After seeing the boys playing with helmets on one side of the field, and the girls on the other side of the field without, his mission in life and business was irrevocably changed. Rob, author of It’s a No-Brainer: An Entrepreneur’s Battle to Reduce Concussions in Girls’ Lacrosse and CEO and founder of Hummingbird Sports, has dedicated himself to a new entrepreneurial path that goes beyond making cash: to raise awareness and change the status quo for safety in girls’ lacrosse.

Rob has four active, athletic girls. Four years ago his two youngest daughters wanted to join lacrosse. When Rob watched their first clinic, he was amazed that the girls were not wearing helmets in a sport played with a stick and a rock hard ball flying around. He looked at an adjacent field and saw a group of boys playing with helmets, shoulder pads, protective gloves, etc. He was angry. Again, girls were not being looked after in the same way. He decided to go home and buy his girls helmets but quickly found that there were no suitable alternatives. Instead of being frustrated with the situation, he set out on a mission to make the first ever ASTM approved girls lacrosse headgear and that’s exactly what he did! Throughout his newly released book, “It’s A No- Brainer: An Entrepreneur’s Battle to Reduce Concussions in Girls’ Lacrosse”, you will hear stories from girls who have suffered life-changing head injuries while playing lacrosse, most often from a single ball or stick to their unprotected heads. Rob also shares the science behind why all girls who play lacrosse need to be wearing head protection today!
