“Well-acted and incisively directed by William Carden, Headstrong boasts strong characters and pungently funny dialogue.” – NY Post
“Funny, frightening, relevant and enlightening, Headstrong folds the scientific, medical, social and cultural aspects of the sports/CTE story into a dramatic family narrative beautifully with wonderful, engaging characters.” – Stone Phillips
“Link has created a universal tale about the struggle between pride and self-preservation, and between honoring the past and creating a workable future. A strong cast helps to make this tight little story a minor home run—I mean, touchdown.” – Time Out New York
