Athletic Turf Wash is excited to announce its partnership with former University of Alabama football star and NFL running back, Trent Richardson, joining the ATW team as the Athletic Market Liaison. Known for his achievements on the field, Richardson now joins the mission to promote clean and safe athletic environments. With his experience in professional sports, Richardson will bring valuable insights to encourage player safety and top-tier performance for athletes everywhere.
Trent Richardson Career Highlights
Recognized as the nation’s top running back, Richardson played football for the University of Alabama, with his junior year being his most notable. Richardson was recognized for many achievements, including:
- 2011 Heisman Trophy finalist
- The first player in school’s history to win the Doak Walker Award
After his time in college football, Richardson was a running back in the NFL for the Cleveland Browns and Indianapolis Colts. His dedication to the sport remains strong as he has shifted into coaching at Hoover High School in Alabama. There, he was introduced to Verick and John from Athletic Turf Wash and has been a strong advocate for the company’s mission to ensure player safety through its 99.5% pathogen reduction rate!
The Difference This Makes:
Through his time professionally playing on the field and coaching on the sidelines, Richardson noticed first-hand what needs to be changed on the field. He’s noted throughout his career that not every synthetic turf field has implemented the same standards when it comes to proper cleaning. Cleaning and disinfecting artificial turf are necessary to reduce the spread of harmful pathogens and ensure a safe playing environment.
Without proper cleaning, athletic fields and equipment become hotspots for various bacteria and viruses when not cleaned regularly. Athletes are in constant contact with these surfaces, making them susceptible to infections that affect their health and performance. Among high school and professional football players alone, MRSA infections are as many as 160 and 400 times more than the general population. Richardson is actively advocating for the next generation of athletes, enforcing new standards for player safety. This starts with endorsing Athletic Turf Wash and the difference it makes for the health of players on and off the field.
Advocating for Athlete Safety and Performance:
The partnership highlights their shared passion for keeping athletes at the top of their game. Together, Richardson and Athletic Turf Wash advocate for the need for regularly maintained fields, emphasizing that safe playing environments are essential to both injury prevention and peak performance. Whether it's a high school practice field or a professional stadium, their efforts underscore the vital role that turf cleanliness plays in protecting athletes and promoting excellence in sports.
