NSSO protects America's athletes

The National Sports Safety Organization (NSSO) was started with one specific goal in mind: to help schools do the best job possible in protecting and preventing student athletes from serious injuries and unnecessary deaths. Sports should be fun, not dangerous, and NSSO is implementing programs to promote safety in all collegiate sports programs.

"We want student athletes and their families to know what they can do to stay safe on the playing field," says George Wheeler, the founder of NSSO. "And we're inviting colleges and universities to work with us to make sports safety a very high priority in their athletic programs."

NSSO is working with leading health and sports safety organizations to establish realistic, cost-effective guidelines for their educational members to follow. NSSO believes that one athlete death or injury is one too many, and one that might have been prevented.

Fallen Athletes

The NSSO Fallen Athletes Registry provides information about athletes who have died while participating in sporting events. Each entry describes the fallen athlete and the details of their death. The registry chronology starts in August on 2001, the month when Rashidi Wheeler, son of NSSO founder George Wheeler, died while participating in a practice for Northwestern University.
