More than 300 attended the Patriots’ first Moms Clinic in Foxborough, MA last Thursday. Attendees learned about football fundamentals, equipment fitting, concussion awareness, and heat and hydration as a part of USA Football’s Heads Up Football program. 

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Patriots' Chairman and CEO Robert Kraft attended the event, which took place inside Gillette Stadium’s Dana-Farber Field House. 
 
“It's important for us to talk about the rewards of playing the game of football," said Goodell. "It's important for us to get the right information to moms and to families that are making the decisions - 
and to encourage our kids to play sports." 
Chris Golic, Rhonda Tippett and Bianca Wilfork participated in a discussion on the importance of  parental engagement, and several Patriots players led moms through football skills and drills. 
 
“To hear from people whose families have had significant experience playing the game, how few injuries they really do experience, that makes me feel better about it," said Megan Goff, a mom who attended the clinic. 
 
Heads Up Football Advisory Committee member Dr. Elizabeth Pieroff spoke on concussion recognition and response. Patriots Head Athletic Trainer Jim Whalen discussed proper management of heat and hydration. 
 
"I can tell you that (football) has been one of the great experiences of my life," said Kraft. "The life lessons you learn playing the game, I don't think you can get anywhere else.”
