Tip 2.

Ensure that your trainers fit properly….

This will result in the potential for the foot moving around in the trainers, causing blisters (Note – Tip 1 can really help with this!). Making sure your trainers fit you properly will improve your chances of playing well and staying blister free.

Tip 3.

…And make sure you wear new trainers in before playing in them

When you first open the box and see the fresh new trainers that are going to look the business on the court it’s very tempting to rush out and play in them straight away, but that’s a sure fire way to cause blisters.

So it’s important to make sure your wear your new trainers in properly. Wear them around the house or in the garden and get your feet used to moving around in them before you crank it up in training or on matchday and you’ll cut down the chance of blisters creeping up on you.

The science behind marginal gains in Netball

Marginal gains is based on the idea that lots of small improvements across lots of different areas can make a significant improvement when added together. It’s about sweating all the small stuff to give yourself the best possible chance to achieve your maximum potential in your performance, whatever you do.

In Netball that means attention to every detail. To how you prepare your mind and body for games. Eating the right way. Pushing yourself to your limits in training. Focusing on your recovery. Practising your technique. Studying your tactics. Analysing your opponents. Getting enough sleep. It’s about doing the right things in the right way every time so that they become habits. And if you can constantly do lots of things just 1% better, that will result in a big overall improvement.

 

The science of marginal gains helps you concentrate on the things that you can control and making sure you’re wearing the right kit and equipment is definitely on that list.

 

VYPR Sport Netball grip socks will ensure maximum grip and stability when training and playing, reducing the chance of blisters and keeping your feet cool, cushioned and dry.

And not having to worry about your wet feet rubbing in your trainers leaves you free to focus on the most important thing – Your game.
