About Tyrre

Tyrre Burks is the founder and CEO of Players Health. “As a kid growing up in Chicago, you did one of two things: play sports or you were in the streets. I choose sports.” Tyrre played football in high school, college, and professionally. Throughout his football career, Tyrre sustained multiple injuries that led to cutting his football career short. From his injuries, he was inspired to ensure that any athlete playing sports would do so in the safest environment possible.
