Coach Creer got the idea about TDT when an incident that dates back to 2010 caused a mass outbreak of Staph and MRSA at a high school which spread throughout the sports facilities. He started doing research on how these viruses could live on these surfaces for extended periods of time and how they affect the human body.

During his research a couple years later, the Coach’s son, Breion was playing in a major college game, where he got turf-burn on his knee. The training staff didn’t thoroughly clean his knee and within a few days Breion needed to undergo emergency surgery due to the MRSA infection before the bacteria began to spread through his body, which would have resulted in him losing his life.
