Huskies Heat Up with Compression Gear

As the Reno Huskies prepare for their 5A season, players are turning to compression gear to stay cool and perform at their best during grueling summer two-a-days. We spoke with Coach Thompson, who recommends the Under Armour HeatGear compression shorts ($40-$60) and sleeveless tops ($30-$50). These moisture-wicking fabrics help keep athletes dry and comfortable, even during the most intense practices. For 5A athletes, who often play in the hot Nevada desert, this gear is a must-have. The compression also helps improve circulation and reduce muscle soreness. Parents, consider investing in a pair of these shorts and tops for your child. They'll thank you when they're dominating on the field.
