  3. Introduction Being a good athlete is about much more than just being great at a sport. There is a mental angle as well, as you prepare your mind and attitude for being the best you can be at your sport. Combining a good mindset with good practice habits and a healthy lifestyle can help you continue to improve your physical ability and become your very best. Let’s discuss 5 gears to be a great athlete.

  4. 1. Prepare by Building an Audience.

  5. CONT… • Simply appearing at a race isn't enough, even if you finish well and having physical gears only is also not enough. This fact seems to be lost on most. You're virtually useless if you don't have an audience beyond the dozen people that may see you at a race. By developing an audience, you dramatically increase the number of people that may see your company's message. These individuals don't necessarily have to actively build an audience. The media coverage they receive serves that purpose. • A blog can be a great way to build an audience. It's very cheap and easy. It does take significant time to write enough to develop a following, but it is one of the easiest ways to do so. Having thousands of followers and friends is a ready-made audience.

  6. 2. Compression Shorts.

  7. CONT… You’ve probably seen a ton of different athletes sporting compression shorts, and for good reason. From combines to college stadiums, athletes everywhere swear by them for use during training and competitions. Compression supports muscles, lessening vibrations, increases blood flow which helps aid in recovery and reduces muscle soreness, according to one 2018 review. Compression also helps keep muscles warm to optimize the way you train, prevent chafing, and keep your body cool and dry with moisture management technology.

  8. 3. High-Tech Sneakers.

  9. CONT… For runners, it’s all about finding shoes that help protect feet without impeding performance. Elite runners often seek out shoes that behave more like socks—in fact, some runners four years ago wore shoes that weighed around five and a half ounces, less than many cell phones. High performance shoemakers continue to cut back on weight using durable plastic foams and fabrics to create low profile, super-lightweight shoes that still provide cushioning and support for leading runners.

  10. 4. Ice Compression Sleeves.

  11. CONT… Athletes sometimes can’t avoid strains, sprains and overuse injuries. Getting hurt happens, so it’s important to take proper steps to recover quickly. That’s where ice compression sleeves save the day. This type of compression gear stays cold, so you can reap the full benefits of compression for recovery and cold therapy to reduce swelling to get back in the game that much faster.

  12. 5. High-Tech Helmets.

  13. CONT… Fast-paced, demanding sports such as road cycling and BMX often result in unexpected crashes, whether you’re an elite racer or a weekend warrior. Fortunately, helmets are becoming more and more sophisticated to reduce the chance of head injuries. Most of today’s consumer helmets—from biking to football and skateboarding to skiing—are made with hard, puncture-resistant plastic shells lined with shock-absorbing plastic foams that continue to evolve to provide greater protection and aerodynamics.
