Wolverine Wear: Bellevue's 3A Team Turns to Compression for Two-a-Days
As the Bellevue Wolverines prepare for another grueling 3A season, their players are turning to compression gear to give them a competitive edge. Brands like Under Armour's Speedform and Nike's Pro Compression are popular choices among the team. The Under Armour Speedform Slingshot, priced between $60-$80, offers a snug fit and four-way stretch for maximum mobility. Meanwhile, Nike's Pro Compression Leggings, priced around $40-$60, provide a full range of motion while keeping muscles warm and stable. 3A athletes prefer compression gear because it helps reduce muscle fatigue and soreness, allowing them to push through intense summer two-a-days. Parents can act on this by investing in a pair of compression socks or leggings for their athlete, available at most sports retailers or online for $20-$50.
