The Turf Setup That's Revolutionizing the NATA AT Expo | Charles Dawson CEO TenCate Grass

We are live from NATA Radio Row in Philadelphia, and today we’re talking to the man behind the turf under our feet! Welcome to another special episode of NATA Radio Row on Tap, featuring Charles Dawson, the CEO of TenCate Grass. In this fast-paced discussion, Charles dives into the cutting-edge physics, engineering, and agronomy that go into creating Pivot Performance Turf. We discuss how modern synthetic turf surfaces are being engineered specifically to mimic natural grass, optimize cleat release, and actively lower lower-extremity injury rates in athletes. If you've ever wondered how surface mechanics impact ACL, ankle, and syndesmosis injuries, this conversation is a must-watch. A massive thank you to our official NATA Radio Row sponsor, Pivot by TenCate (@pivot_by_tencate), for supplying the premium turf setup for our mobile studio layout! #NATARadioRow #TenCateGrass #PivotTurf #SportsMedicine #InjuryPrevention #NATA2026 #TurfScience #ACLPrevention #SportsMedicineOnTap #SportsScience
