(AS SEEN ON TESTIMONIAL
PAGE) I recently asked Peter Head Trainer from the Keith Crows
Football Club (Amateur/County) to give me an assessment on how Zone
Sports Foam has worked at his club. He replied,
Matt,
your foam protection pad is spot on! I have sworn by it from the
first time I used it and now that all my trainers and all the
players won't strap their ankles without it- there are no more tape
cuts.
We
are also using it for so many other uses (like for bruised heels,
preventing skin allergies, preventing irritations behind the knee
and under the wrist, lining our thumb guards and using it between a
buddy strap and especially preventing boot blisters on our hard
grounds), that it's saving us a bucket load of money and reducing
the amount of products I need to buy.
Thanks
mate, you have a real winner- Peter, Head Trainer of Keith Crows
Football Club
After reading
Peters awesome testimonial on Zone Sports Foam, I thought it would
be easy to draw on a couple of tips.
Peter has shown
some great leadership and has shown that it doesn't matter what
level your working at that if you have the right attitude and basic
philosophies that you and your club can be the
REAL winner.
1. Be
resourceful
2. Think
outside the square
3. KISS -
Keep it simple stupid, don't make things harder than they
are!
4.
Continually improve and test your skills
5.
Prevention will always save you time money!

BLISSFULL TIPS for BLISSFULL WALKING
I have
recently had quite a few enquires about the benefits of Zone Sports
Foam for events such as the Oxfam 100 km walk. So I thought I would
quickly put together a few tips for those getting ready or
contemplating this type of gruelling event.
Prevention
and Preparation are the most important keys to beating this age
old problem of friction blisters.
My Top 5 Simple
Tips to a blissful
blister free walk are;
1. It sounds so
basic - but make sure you choose the right shoe and Walk them
in. Break them in and get to know how they feet feel. Walking
in them will stretch them to their actual size in your
foot.
( It is
recommended that you use Zone Sports Foam for the first few times
to stop any excess friction and any unwanted blisters- This applies
to all boots including Football Boots).
2. Make sure
your shoes are Water proofed (as best as possible) as moisture can
cause maceration an be a huge problem.
3. Ensure they
are comfortable and the right size. If they are too big your foot
will slide and create friction on the soles of your toes and heels.
Also, if they are too tight it more damage will be created on the
top and outside of your feet.
4. Your socks
are vital, ensure they aren't cotton as they sweat more and create
more heat in your shoe (which creates those little nasty
things called blisters).
> Wear two
pairs of socks and turn the first pair inside out so the seams of
both pairs are rubbing together rather than on your toes. There are
many types of breathable socks on the market.
5. Use Zone
Sports Foam Protection Pad as it is a protective barrier guarding
against hot spots on the back and bottom of your heels, insteps of
your feet and the outsides of your toes.
>Cut the the
right size and secure well with fixumul or sports tape so that the
pad doesn't move.
For the 100 km
walks, I would recommend that you tape your ankles and use Zone
Sports Foam underneath. Doing this will secure the Protection Pad
and also give you the added protection against injuring your
ankles on rough terrain.
Best of
Health,
Matt
