KT Tape Is Helping Team USA Keep It Together In The World Cup
Ever since Olympic gold medal volleyball player Kerri Walsh donned the colorful kinesiology therapeutic tape on her shoulders during the Olympic Games, it has been as commonplace to see it on athletes– from gold medalists and world champions to amateurs and weekend warriors.
You probably saw the US Men’s National Soccer Team wear it as they play in the World Cup. KT Tape has been chosen as The Official Kinesiology Therapeutic Tape Supplier of the U.S. Soccer Federation (USSF) through 2016. The 3-year partnership ensures that all USSF players – from its Development Academy through the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team (USMNT) competing in the World Cup will gain support and relief for their aches and pains from KT Tape.
In addition to sporting the colorful KT Tape in their ankles, calves, knees, thighs, hamstrings, necks and backs during training and competition, USMNT players will be featured in advertising, promotion and marketing for the brand. KT Tape will produce a special USSF logoed KT Tape – exclusively for USMNT players to wear during the 2014 World Cup.
