I’ve always been an advocate for athletes to wear mouthpieces when playing sports. Most of us know, the mouthpiece allows an athlete to fully clutch his or her jaw when preparing for impact. We see athletes participating in football, hockey, basketball, and MMA wearing mouthpieces all the time. It wasn’t until more recently when Bryce Harper and some of the other athletes in sports such as baseball have made wearing a mouthpiece more mainstream. I came across an article written by Becca Jenkins that may challenge the thinking of athletes and encourage them to wear a mouthpiece beyond just for safety but to also improve performance. You will find the article below.
