Check Out How The Watt Brothers Motivate Each Other As They Train Together
Some cool news coming out of Reebok recently. They announced the launch of the Reebok Hydrorush, the newest men’s functional training shoe from the global fitness leader. Put to the test by one of the most athletic families in sports, the Watt brothers, the Reebok Hydrorush is built from the ground up to withstand the tough workouts of even the highest performing professional athletes.
The Reebok Hydrorush helps enable athletes of any level to attack their workout with the same unyielding drive as the Watt Brothers. With maximum foot security and a full rubber outsole for workouts on all surfaces, the shoe provides everything needed to achieve peak training performance.
Defined by a constant commitment to redefining their own boundaries, J.J., Derek and T.J. Watt rely on the Hydrorush in training to help improve performance on the field. Now, athletes nationwide can join the Watts in their relentless pursuit of greatness with Reebok’s latest release.
Additional technology and comfort benefits of the Hydrorush include:
• Unmatched Responsiveness: Dual density liquid foam technology cushions during high impact movements
• Versatile Traction: Full rubber outsole for workouts on all surfaces
• Dependable Security: Midfoot stability supports quick cuts and changing direction
Reebok ambassador Derek Watt says, “Every time I step on the field, film room, or hit the gym, I try to give it my full effort and leave everything out there. The Hydrorush is the perfect shoe to train in because I can do any workout – from speed drills to lifting and agility – all in one shoe. The Hydrorush adds tremendous value to my training and allows me to perform at my best both on and off the field.”
“What I’ve learned from my brothers is that what you see on the field is the result of the intense training off of it. As a rookie this year, I’ve had to train harder than I ever had to before, and the Hydrorush is the perfect shoe for me to do this. It is breathable, lightweight, and a style that I can wear both in and out of the gym,” adds Reebok ambassador TJ Watt.
On the development of the Reebok Hydrorush, Tal Short, Project Manager, said: “We know our customers need to have a shoe that can adapt to their training as and when they need it. We developed the Hydrorush to attack and withstand any level of training, whether it’s professional athletes training to enhance their game or high schoolers striving to make varsity. At an affordable price point of $80, the Hydrorush is an accessible and essential tool for any athlete or individual who’s looking to take their performance to the next level.”
The Hydrorush is now available for purchase at Reebok.com for $80. For more information visit www.reebok.com/watt

Let Your Team Pride Show With Fanchest
Who is your favorite team to root for? Are you a NFL, NBA, NHL or MLB fan? Or are you a college sports fan? Well no matter the sport or league you can get some sick gear from a company called FanChest.
At Fanchest they love to support their favorite teams, but dread shopping for gifts for the sports fans in their lives. To them going to a big box sporting goods store is like traveling in on of Dante’s layer of hell. Fanchest feels that at those big stores there is no customer service, an insane amount of choices, and no excitement. Even checking out the big ecommerce sites is frustrating. They would rather get a root canal. So that is why they created a new subscription service.
They wanted things to change. They feel that gifts should be thoughtful, fun to give and get, and capture the passion that all sports fans have. These are the gifts that you’ll cherish for years and brag about to your friends. Their mission at Fanchest is simple, to deliver the best gifting experience for all sports fans.
They work with a lot of great sports properties like Majestic, Stance, Topps, and ’47 Brand. I recently got a Chicago Bears Fanchest. This box was packed with a lot of great items. There was a comfortable T-shirt, a sick winter hat, a mug, mints, pens and a notebook that had different Chicago Bears logos on them. If you are interested in getting your own subscription go fanchest.com

Ron Jaworski Talks Football And How He Is Raising Awareness For Prostate Cancer
Cancer Treatment Centers of America and the National Football League Alumni Association have built a new partnership to raise awareness among NFL Alumni, and fans around the country about screening, diagnosis and treatment for prostate cancer. This year, the American Cancer Society estimates 161,360 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed and 26,730 men will die from the disease. Today, a variety of treatment options are available to men diagnosed with prostate cancer, including radiation and active surveillance. However, the critical first step is to get screened.
Now through Oct. 15, 2,000 men, ages 40 and older, who meet eligibility requirements, may sign up to receive a free Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) screening by LabCorp at any of its 1,750 locations throughout the U. S. After the first 2,000 free PSA screening spots are filled, eligible men may still schedule a screening at the discounted price of $25 throughout the sign-up period. Screenings must be performed within six months of the sign-up date.
“Routine screening has significantly improved the outlook for men with prostate cancer, which is very treatable when diagnosed early. And innovative technology has helped minimize the side effects of treatment,” says Maurie Markman, MD, President of Medicine and Science at CTCA. “We at CTCA are looking forward to working with the NFLA to bring a broader awareness of the latest clinical advances in prostate cancer treatment and deliver those to their membership.”
As part of the Prostate Pep Talk campaign, public service announcements featuring legendary former NFL head coaches Herm Edwards, Dick Vermeil, and Bill Cowher will raise awareness of prostate cancer risks and encourage men to get screened for the disease. The public service announcements will air nationally throughout September, which is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.
I talk with former NFL QB and now analyst, Ron Jaworski about the work he is doing with the NFL Alumni and the Cancer Treatment Centers of America as well some football.

Gatorade POY Interviews
Last month we did our annual tour of today at the Gatorade Player of the Year Awards, an event that we always enjoy. The overall message and vibe of these events are consistently positive.
Gatorade has been recognizing elite high school athletes across the country since 1985. The criteria for selection is based on three different consideration points: athletic excellence, academic achievement and exemplary character. State Player of the Year awards are issued to male and female athletes in all fifty states (and the District of Columbia) across 12 different sports. The 606 state winners are then paired down to a final pool of 12 athletes. From this pool of finalists, one female and one male athlete are awarded Athlete of the Year in Los Angeles just prior to the ESPY Awards. The winners are voted on by a panel of about 400 people, including sports journalists, coaches and other athletes.
Past winners at different levels include some of the most successful professional athletes in recent memory. Kobe. LeBron. Peyton Manning. Clayton Kershaw. Allyson Felix. The list goes on and on. For many of these top-notch amateur athletes, this event is their first big spotlight moment – a chance to rub elbows with the elite professional athletes they all hope to become. It’s day for recognizing excellence, nurturing potential and honoring the people who make it possible for young athletes to pursue their dreams in sports. All very positive stuff.
We got to spend time chatting with three professional athletes who are involved with the program: Christian Mccaffrey, Karl-Anthony Towns and D’Angelo Russell. Here are the interviews:
