Husky Heat: Staying Cool in the 6A Jungle
As the summer heat sets in, Blue Valley Northwest Huskies' football players are gearing up for two-a-days in style. This year, the team is turning to compression gear to stay cool and perform at their best. We spoke with Coach Mike Berg about the team's decision to go with Nike Pro Combat 2.0 compression shorts ($60-$80) and sleeves ($40-$60). 'Our 6A athletes need all the help they can get to stay cool in the heat,' Coach Berg said. 'The compression gear helps to regulate body temperature and reduce muscle soreness.' The practical reason for choosing this gear is that it allows players to stay focused on the game, not on the heat. Parents, consider investing in a similar compression gear for your athlete to help them stay cool and perform at their best this season.
