Thunderbirds Take Flight with Compression Gear
As Bellevue West's A team prepares for two-a-days, players are turning to compression gear to gain a competitive edge. The Thunderbirds have partnered with Under Armour to equip their athletes with the Speedform Slingshot 2 compression shorts and the ColdGear React compression sleeves. These high-tech garments provide a snug fit, reducing muscle oscillation and improving overall performance. The A team prefers compression gear for its ability to reduce muscle fatigue, allowing them to push through intense practices without sacrificing speed and agility. The Under Armour Speedform Slingshot 2 compression shorts retail between $60-$80, while the ColdGear React compression sleeves range from $30-$50. Parents can take note and consider investing in similar gear for their own athletes, helping them stay ahead of the competition this season.
