Big comeback! Adam Lacko returns to FIA European Truck Racing and will also compete in Most!
Racing in Buggyra colors he will appear at the Nürburgring and also at the home event in Most, scheduled for August 30–31. “Back then, we announced that we were stepping back and would observe how the championship develops. After the former promoter’s contract with the FIA expired, we decided to try a return. We’ve agreed to compete in two races, mainly the one in front of the home crowd here in Most,” explains Jan Kalivoda, the team’s Head of Communications, describing Adam’s big comeback. For Lacko, this marks a return after a three-year hiatus. “After a few years, we’re coming back to the European Truck Racing Championship. There’s a chance, we won’t be racing with our Buggyra, but with the classic ‘cab-over truck’ like everyone else,” says the 2017 European champion with a smile, who is actually testing an Iveco truck prepared by six-time European champion Jochen Hahn. “I’m really looking forward to it. Three years is a long break, and the technology has moved forward a lot. Our Buggyra was always the most beautiful, but at the end we will decide for the fastest truck.” The Czech driver already has some experience with this truck. “I drove Jochen’s Iveco once back in 2018 during a customer event, so I’m curious to see how things have evolved since then. It’s still capable of chasing the reigning champion Kiss, so I believe we’ll be fast,” he adds. The program is clearly set for now: Buggyra will take part in two races—at the legendary Nürburgring and in Most. “We plan to do two races this year as a test, to understand where the championship is heading under FIA leadership, and then decide what’s next. Nürburgring is the biggest celebration of truck racing, but Most is extremely important for us as well,” Kalivoda explains. The return in front of Czech fans is key for Buggyra, and cooperation with Automotoklub Most has also played a role. “Our goal is for Czech fans to fully enjoy the home races thanks to strong local names. Adam Lacko’s return to the championship is therefore great news. Adam is an icon, and the home event is a unique opportunity to see him back in action live,” says Josef Zajíček, CEO of Autodrom Most and a member of the organizing Automotoklub Most. Lacko is preparing carefully for his return. “We have two days of testing here with our Buggyra and Téo Calvet, where we’ll try both trucks and compare everything. I’m really enjoying it,” Lacko describes. And his goals? They remain the same as always. “I’ll try to deliver the best possible result and show myself in a good light. I hope the fans will come and support us again. Let’s see how it turns out,” Lacko concludes with a smile. Special FAN PASS with Adam Lacko Fans can enjoy the race weekend even more intensely thanks to the limited-edition Adam Lacko Buggyra FAN PASS. It includes not only entry to the venue, but also a Grid Walk, a personal meet-and-greet with Adam Lacko in the team’s paddock, and a sightseeing ride along the circuit’s service roads. https://www.facebook.com/BUGGYRA https://twitter.com/buggyra_racing https://www.linkedin.com/company/buggyra-racing https://www.instagram.com/buggyra_racing/ https://www.tiktok.com/@buggyra

Aerial Ashes Introduces Drone Ceremonies as Alternative to Pitch Ashes Scattering in the UK
LONDON, United Kingdom – April 12, 2026 — Aerial Ashes, a UK-based memorial services provider, has introduced a drone-assisted ashes scattering service designed to support families unable to fulfil requests for ashes scattering on football pitches due to stadium restrictions. Across the UK, football clubs maintain strict policies prohibiting ashes scattering inside stadium grounds. These restrictions, applied at venues such as Anfield, Old Trafford, and St Mary’s Stadium, are based on pitch preservation, health and safety requirements, and operational consistency across thousands of requests. While these policies are widely understood, such policies often create emotional challenges for families seeking to honour lifelong supporters whose connection to their club was central to their identity. Addressing a Growing Need for Practical Alternatives Funeral professionals note that many families face uncertainty when dealing with restrictions on ashes scattering on football pitches. In some cases, this results in delays, while others attempt informal solutions that may not deliver the intended experience. Aerial Ashes has developed a structured alternative that allows families to remain connected to meaningful locations. Ceremonies are conducted from carefully selected nearby areas where the stadium remains visible, preserving the emotional significance of the tribute. A spokesperson for Aerial Ashes stated: “Families are looking for a respectful way to honour personal wishes while navigating real-world limitations. The goal is to provide a solution that balances emotional intent with practical and legal considerations.” Controlled and Compliant Drone Ceremonies The service uses specialist drones to release ashes at height, allowing natural and wide dispersal. Ceremonies are typically scheduled during early hours to ensure privacy and calm environmental conditions. All operations follow UK Civil Aviation Authority regulations and are conducted from approved locations with appropriate permissions. This structured approach ensures a controlled, respectful process that avoids many challenges associated with informal methods. Growing Interest in Stadium-Linked Memorials Demand for location-based ceremonies is increasing, particularly among supporters of major football clubs. Families are selecting sites close to stadiums where visual and emotional connections remain strong. This approach reflects a broader shift in memorial services, where personalization and meaningful locations are becoming key elements of the experience. A Changing Approach to Football Tributes As stadium restrictions remain in place, alternatives such as drone-assisted ceremonies are reshaping how fans are remembered. The focus is moving toward proximity, personal meaning, and well-managed experiences rather than physical access to restricted areas. About Aerial Ashes Aerial Ashes is a United Kingdom–based memorial services provider specializing in drone-assisted ashes scattering ceremonies. The company focuses on delivering respectful, location-based tributes designed to meet modern memorial needs. For more information, visit: https://aerialashes.co.uk/football/

Beyond Pitch Counts: Youth Pitcher Arm Soreness & Workload Guide Released
VeloRESET has made a chapter of its educational resource Beyond Pitch Counts available as a free download, addressing one of the more persistent questions parents of youth baseball pitchers face: why soreness and performance changes can occur even when pitch counts appear safe. The chapter walks through how workload, recovery timing, and arm readiness together shape the health of a young pitcher's arm across a busy season. More details can be found at https://www.veloreset.com/free-youth-pitching-book-chapter Pitch counts have long served as a primary guideline for managing youth pitching workloads, but as VeloRESET explains, these limits track only in-game pitches and do not account for the full accumulation of throwing activity across a typical week. In many cases, young pitchers are throwing beyond games in ways that don't show up in any count — warmups, bullpen sessions, private lessons, and appearances across multiple teams. Each activity may seem manageable on its own, but the combined load can produce fatigue that pitch count totals simply don't capture. That gap between recorded pitches and actual workload is often where the confusion starts, VeloRESET notes. A pitcher can stay within prescribed limits and still experience soreness or a drop in performance — particularly during growth spurts or stretches of heavier activity. "When everything looks right on paper, but the arm still feels off, that's where most families begin to question what they're missing," a spokesperson for VeloRESET said. "The issue is usually not a single outing, but how everything adds up across the week." The chapter also highlights recovery timing as a key factor in how a young arm responds to stress. According to VeloRESET, the days between throwing sessions often determine whether the body adapts or simply accumulates more fatigue, and that window, the resource argues, can explain soreness more clearly than pitch count totals alone. The resource also reframes how soreness is interpreted. Rather than treating it as a straightforward yes-or-no signal, VeloRESET encourages parents to consider the fuller picture — patterns of fatigue, recent workload, and recovery time — when assessing how a pitcher's arm is responding. VeloRESET aims to provide parents with a clearer way to assess throwing decisions during active seasons, where schedules, growth changes, and overlapping commitments can make those decisions less straightforward.

Téo Calvet sets his sights on a fifth title in the French truck racing championship
Téo Calvet, the dominant force in French truck racing, approaches 2026 with the composure of a man who has already won almost everything in his sport. At just 25 years of age, the French Buggyra ZM Racing driver holds four French Championship titles (2021, 2023, 2024, and 2025), a French Junior Championship (2019), 38 race wins, and 27 pole positions to his name. He is now preparing for his 10th season in the French championship, aiming to defend his title. A field sharper than ever Despite his status as the favorite, Téo is not underestimating the competition. Several teams used the winter break to develop new trucks and raise their game. In a discipline where points are hard-fought, any lapse in concentration can prove costly. “The season is approaching fast, and I cannot wait to race once more in the French Truck Racing Championship. We have six races this year, and it will be really interesting because the competition is strong. There is no room for mistakes, as there are many points to be won per race. I think some of the competition improved even further during the winter break and have built new trucks. So we will have to stay focused and fight, and hopefully bring the title home once more,” said Téo about the upcoming season. Dijon, an exciting unknown The 2026 French truck racing championship will be contested over six rounds, opening at the end of April at the Circuit de Dijon-Prenois, a venue returning to the truck racing calendar after a 14-year absence. For Téo, it is entirely new territory. “The new race in Dijon will be interesting. I’ve never been there, not even as a spectator,” Téo explained. Leaving nothing to chance, Téo is already putting in simulator hours ahead of an official test session at the Most circuit in the Czech Republic from 13 to 15 April, where he will reunite with his Buggyra ZM Racing team and his 1,200-horsepower Freightliner. An exceptional record Truck racing is a spectacular motorsport discipline in which purpose-built racing trucks weighing over five tons and producing up to 1,200 horsepower compete on conventional road circuits. Téo Calvet has been racing in the category since 2017, starting at just 17, and has been with Buggyra ZM Racing, one of Europe’s most decorated truck racing outfits, since 2020. In 2022, the only season in which he scaled back his French program to focus on the European stage, Téo raced in just one domestic round, at Nogaro, and still collected 54 points out of a possible 60. He ended that campaign eighth in the overall FIA European Truck Racing Championship standings, underlining his pace at the highest level of the sport. The season gets underway at Dijon-Prenois at the end of April. The trucks are back, and so is their champion. 2026 French Truck Racing Championship Calendar 25-26 April: Dijon (FR) 23-24 May: Castellet (FR) 20-21 June: Nogaro (FR) 04-05 July: Magny-Cours (FR) 26-27 September: Le Mans (FR) 10-11 October: Albi (FR) https://www.facebook.com/BUGGYRA https://twitter.com/buggyra_racing https://www.linkedin.com/company/buggyra-racing https://www.instagram.com/buggyra_racing/ https://www.tiktok.com/@buggyra

Truck racing champion Lacko makes off-road rallying debut with Buggyra ZM Racing
The 41-year-old Czech racer, who has spent over three decades competing in karts, cars, and trucks, joins team CEO Martin Koloc and his daughter Aliyyah Koloc in what will be a three-car program by the second half of the season. For Buggyra, the European series itself also represents new territory as the team's rallying experience has so far been concentrated on the FIA Middle East Bajas and the Dakar Rally. Buggyra ZM Racing conducted a test on Tuesday this week in Bělá pod Bezdězem, approximately 50 kilometers north-east of Prague, in preparation for the upcoming season. Both Martin Koloc and Adam Lacko drove the REVO Red-Lined T1+ GTR during the session. The team has previously competed in the FIA Middle East Bajas and the Dakar Rally, but the European Baja series represents new ground. Buggyra will participate in the full championship, except for the Greek event, which takes place at the same time as the Taklimakan Rally in China, where the team will take part. For the first half of the season, the turbo-powered T1+ GTR will be driven by Aliyyah Koloc, while Martin Koloc and Adam Lacko will share the non-turbo version. From the end of July, the team plans to field a third car, allowing all three drivers to compete individually at the remaining events. "From what I saw today during the test, Adam is doing well and seems comfortable in the car," said Buggyra CEO Martin Koloc. "I hope he will have a good season so that, in the last chapter of his professional career, he can live another great experience." Lacko, who claimed the European truck racing title in 2017 and has since also competed in GT racing, described the experience as a significant shift. "It is a big change, I did not believe it myself. I am excited about the REVO. It is incredible what the car can do. I am still getting used to it, and with every kilometer I am learning more. But every lap is enjoyable, and I feel good in the car," he said. "I am looking forward to competing in the European Bajas. I will get support from Martin and Aliyyah, who are both much more experienced in off-road rallying than I am." The most significant adjustment for Lacko will be working with a co-driver for the first time in his career. "That is the biggest challenge for me. I have to learn to listen to the person next to me. For over 30 years, I have raced karts, cars, and trucks on my own, and no one has ever guided me. At most, someone on the radio from the pits. Here I will be dependent on the navigator," he explained. The name of Lacko's co-driver will be announced ahead of his first race, scheduled for early May.

Youth Strength and Conditioning: New Programme and Training Tips Announced
Master Trainer Initiative has launched a Youth Development Programme for athletes aged 15 to 18, addressing the later stages of the adolescent growth period, often post-Peak Height Velocity (PHV), when the body enters a sensitive window for strength and physical adaptation. The structured programme combines training, nutrition, recovery protocols, and athlete education, distinguishing it from generic fitness offerings by addressing the unique physiological needs of young athletes during this scientifically recognised developmental period. Parents concerned about safety and effectiveness in youth strength training now have access to a framework built around age-appropriate loading, movement quality, and expert mentoring. More information is available at https://mastertrainerinitiative.com/youth-athlete-development/ Decades of research, including prominent works by Faigenbaum et al. (e.g., 2010) and Lloyd et al. (e.g., their 2014 textbook), confirm that properly supervised resistance training does not stunt growth and carries no greater injury risk than other common childhood activities. The real dangers arise from unsupervised sessions, poor technique, and inappropriate loading rather than age itself. By establishing this evidence-based foundation, Master Trainer Initiative removes the psychological barrier that has prevented many parents from enrolling their children in structured programmes, replacing outdated myths with scientific consensus. Structured youth strength and conditioning demonstrably improves speed, power, agility, and injury resilience, all of which directly enhance athletic performance and long-term health. These benefits extend beyond sport, building habits and discipline that lead to lifelong fitness and healthier adults. The investment in such a programme during this sensitive developmental window supports both athletic potential and character development, with improvements that become more challenging to achieve or may not reach optimal potential after the teenage years. Master Trainer Initiative's approach centres on four interconnected pillars: structured training, sport-appropriate nutrition, recovery management, and athlete education. Coaches teach young athletes not only what to do but why their training works, fostering independence and long-term ownership of physical development. Emphasis on movement quality, gradual progressive overload, and age-appropriate loading ensures that parents invest in education and mentoring rather than simply exercise classes. Regular check-ins allow coaches to monitor progress and adjust programming through training cycles. Foundational movement patterns including squats, hinges, pushes, pulls, single-leg work, carries, and plyometrics form the core curriculum, with proper technique always preceding load. Consistency over months and years builds authentic athletic capacity, reassuring parents that the methodology is both evidence-based and methodical. Progression from bodyweight control to loaded resistance is based on competency rather than chronological age. The 15 to 18 age group represents a sensitive, scientifically proven window of heightened physical adaptability that, if not optimally addressed, risks missing crucial development opportunities. Parents can access a free initial consultation as a low-risk entry point, with programming tailored to any sport and designed to integrate seamlessly with existing team commitments.

MAC Surfaces Announces Sports Surfacing Across 3 States
When a flooring company with decades of experience expands its scope, the result is more than a new offering, it’s a higher standard. MAC Surfaces, a Colorado-based sports surfacing company, has positioned itself as a full-service provider of athletic facility construction, resurfacing, and maintenance across Colorado, Washington, and Texas. Built on the foundation of Colorado Hardwood Floors, a Denver-area company known for craftsmanship and reliability, MAC Surfaces brings a flooring-first perspective to sports surfacing, an approach that sets it apart in a competitive industry. The company serves schools, recreation centers, homeowners associations, municipalities, sports clubs, and private facilities. Its services include hardwood gymnasium flooring, tennis and pickleball court construction and resurfacing, running track installation, artificial turf systems, and cushioned or portable sports surfaces. Each project reflects the same precision and attention to detail that established the parent company’s strong reputation. From Hardwood Roots to Athletic Surfaces MAC Surfaces evolved directly from Colorado Hardwood Floors, a business built on over 30 years of expertise in installation, subfloor preparation, and long-term durability. Rather than adopting a conventional construction-first mindset, MAC Surfaces applies flooring principles to athletic surfaces, prioritizing structural integrity, material compatibility, and finish quality. This distinction is significant. While many contractors treat courts and tracks as paving projects, MAC Surfaces focuses on what lies beneath the surface. Proper substrate preparation and layering ensure consistent performance, safety, and longevity under repeated athletic use. The result is a higher level of finish quality across gym floors, courts, and tracks, an advantage that becomes evident over time. Tennis and Pickleball Court Construction One of the company’s core specialties is tennis and pickleball court construction and resurfacing . MAC Surfaces installs courts using International Tennis Federation (ITF) classified surfaces, ensuring consistent ball response, traction, and playability. Court foundations are built with post-tensioned concrete, a method that strengthens the slab by tensioning embedded steel cables after curing. This significantly reduces cracking and improves long-term stability, critical factors for maintaining safe, high-performance playing surfaces. Surface coatings are applied using Acrytech Sports Coatings, which provide UV resistance, durable color retention, and textured finishes for reliable footing. In addition to new construction, the company restores aging courts through crack repair and resurfacing, extending usability without full replacement. Clients range from residential property owners and HOAs to schools, athletic clubs, and municipal facilities. Each project begins with a detailed evaluation, followed by a tailored plan aligned with performance goals and budget considerations. Gymnasium Flooring and Indoor Surfaces Gymnasium flooring is another key area of expertise and a direct extension of the company’s hardwood flooring origins. Proper gym floors require a balance of durability, shock absorption, and consistent finish quality. MAC Surfaces installs sports surfacing for schools and athletic facilities , with careful attention to moisture control, subfloor conditions, and environmental factors that affect long-term performance. The company also offers refinishing services to restore existing gym floors, including surface coatings, line markings, and traction, providing a cost-effective alternative to replacement. Beyond hardwood, MAC Surfaces installs cushioned and portable surface systems such as CushionX and RollX. CushionX adds shock absorption to reduce joint stress during extended play, while RollX allows facilities to convert multi-use spaces into courts quickly without permanent installation. These options are particularly valuable for schools and recreation centers managing diverse programming needs. Running Tracks and Artificial Turf For outdoor facilities, MAC Surfaces installs and maintains running tracks and artificial turf systems. Track surfacing requires precise material selection to achieve the right balance of traction, durability, and energy return. The company works with clients to determine the appropriate specification based on intended use, from competitive athletics to general fitness. Artificial turf systems offer a low-maintenance alternative to natural grass, eliminating the need for irrigation and mowing while maintaining consistent playability. MAC Surfaces emphasizes proper base preparation and drainage, ensuring long-term performance and safety across a variety of climates and usage levels. A Certified Team Across Three States Operating across Colorado, Washington, and Texas, MAC Surfaces maintains a certified installation team trained in the specific requirements of each surface type. Its expansion reflects both growing demand and the company’s ability to deliver consistent results across multiple regions. Every project begins with a consultative process focused on understanding the facility, its users, and performance expectations. From there, the company develops a tailored plan covering materials, timelines, and maintenance considerations. This approach positions MAC Surfaces not just as a contractor, but as a long-term partner in athletic facility development. Serving Schools, Clubs, and Communities MAC Surfaces works with a wide range of clients, including schools, athletic organizations, HOAs, municipalities, and private property owners. Despite their differences, these clients share a common need: surfaces that perform reliably, withstand heavy use, and maintain a professional appearance. By combining proven materials with disciplined installation methods, MAC Surfaces consistently delivers across all three. More information about the company’s services is available at mac-surf.com. About MAC Surfaces MAC Surfaces is a Colorado-based sports surfacing company specializing in the installation, resurfacing, and maintenance of athletic facilities. Evolving from Colorado Hardwood Floors, the company brings over 30 years of combined experience in flooring and athletic surfaces. It serves clients across Colorado, Washington, and Texas, offering services that include gymnasium flooring, court construction and resurfacing, running tracks, artificial turf systems, and cushioned or portable surfaces. Using ITF-classified systems, post-tensioned concrete, and Acrytech coatings, MAC Surfaces delivers durable, high-performance results for athletes at every level.

Nina Steiner Publishes Data-Driven 2028 Olympics Transportation Guide for Los Angeles Sports Teams, Business and Visitors
With fewer than 850 days until the Opening Ceremony of the XXXIV Olympiad on July 14, 2028, Los Angeles is bracing for a transportation challenge of historic proportions. Nina Steiner, founder and principal broker of TenantRepLA and Senior Advisor at Saxum West, has released what industry observers are calling the most detailed, data-backed guide available to help businesses and visitors understand how to get around Los Angeles during the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The transportation resource published at TenantRepLA.com , arrives at a critical inflection point: city planners project 1.2 million peak-day spectator trips — the equivalent of hosting seven Super Bowls every single day for a month — across a metropolitan area already ranked among the most traffic-congested in the United States. Why This Guide Matters: The Scale of the Challenge The numbers underpinning the LA28 transportation challenge are staggering. According to data compiled from LA Metro, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), and the LA28 organizing committee, Steiner's guide synthesizes the following: 1.2 million peak-day spectator trips projected by the City of Los Angeles — equivalent to seven Super Bowls simultaneously, every day, for a month 2,700 zero-emission buses to be deployed as part of Metro's Games Enhanced Transit Service (GETS) — nearly double Metro's existing fleet 49 Olympic venues across the region, all with security perimeters that will restrict private vehicle access and limit curb parking 60-day Games Route Network in operation, from Olympic Village opening through the end of Paralympic departures on August 30, 2028 10,000+ new transit personnel to be hired to support the expanded Games transportation network $94.3 million in federal mobility funding approved by Congress in February 2026 for station enhancements, mobility hubs, and transit improvements 5 Central Mobility Hubs (CMH) designated by Metro, with up to 10 additional locations under consideration 100+ miles of bus priority lanes expected to remain as a permanent post-Games legacy $139 million U.S. DOT Reconnecting Communities and Neighborhoods grant awarded to LA Metro to fund multimodal access improvements ahead of the Games A fleet of approximately 1,500 supplemental buses and 5,000 Honda vehicles reserved for the roughly 100,000 Olympic and Paralympic workers A Transit-First Olympics: What Businesses and Visitors Must Know LA28 officials have formally shifted from an ambitious 'car-free' Games concept to a 'transit-first' approach — a distinction with profound implications for Westside Los Angeles commercial tenants. Dedicated carpool and toll lanes will be converted to Olympic-only corridors during the Games, while security perimeters will close streets surrounding all 49 venues to private vehicles. New rail expansions detailed in Steiner's guide include the D Line (Purple Line) Extension, whose first phase extends service from Wilshire/Western to Wilshire/La Cienega beginning May 8, 2026, with a second phase continuing to Century City by late 2026. The Crenshaw/LAX light rail line will also link to the airport's new automated people mover and the Inglewood Transit Connector. Three Bus Rapid Transit lines — from North Hollywood to Pasadena, Hollywood to South Central, and Northridge to North Hollywood — are slated to open before 2027. For retail and office tenants in Santa Monica, Culver City, Playa Vista, Marina del Rey, Brentwood, and El Segundo — the core submarkets served by TenantRepLA — proximity to Metro rail stations and mobility hubs is set to become a significant lease negotiation factor in the months ahead. Steiner's Perspective: Real Estate Strategy Meets Olympic Planning “The 2028 Games are not just a two-week event,” said Nina Steiner , founder of TenantRepLA. “They represent a fundamental and permanent shift in how Los Angeles moves. Businesses that understand the transit infrastructure being built right now — and choose their office space accordingly — will have a competitive advantage long after the flame goes out. My job is to make sure my clients make those decisions with the best information available.” Steiner brings a unique perspective to this analysis. A former television producer turned commercial real estate advisor, she founded TenantRepLA to provide creative and entertainment industry tenants with the same data-driven advocacy that larger corporations routinely employ. Her services are provided at no cost to the tenant — commissions are landlord-paid — and she represents clients across Los Angeles, New York, London, and beyond.

Anaconda Launches Shoulder Brace for Athletes Training Through Discomfort
Anaconda, the athletic gear brand built by founder Luke Kilcoyne after a serious training injury left him without reliable support equipment, has released the Anaconda Shoulder Brace — a compression-based support designed for athletes who train through shoulder discomfort rather than sit out. The brace uses 3D knitted compression, a detachable gel pad for impact absorption, and a dual-strap fastening system to keep the support locked in place during overhead lifts, dynamic movements, and high-impact training. It retails for $39.95 and is available in sizes S through XXL. Shoulder injuries are one of the most common setbacks for active athletes across multiple disciplines. In CrossFit and weightlifting populations, shoulder injuries account for 6.7%-40.6% of all reported injuries, with overhead pressing, snatches, and dynamic pull-up movements posing the highest risk. A separate scoping review of weight-training athletes found shoulder injuries among the most frequently reported across powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting, and bodybuilding. For athletes who depend on upper-body mobility — whether pressing a barbell, throwing a training partner, or swinging a racket — the shoulder joint absorbs repeated stress that accumulates over months and years of training. "After tearing my ACL and MCL, I tried every brace I could find, but none held up during training," said Luke Kilcoyne, Founder of Anaconda. "We trained in every version. If it slid, we fixed it. If it pinched, we adjusted the design." That same development approach — building prototypes, testing them through weeks of real-world training sessions, and iterating until they hold up under high-intensity use — is what Anaconda applied to the shoulder brace. How the Anaconda Shoulder Brace Works The Anaconda Shoulder Brace combines three support systems: 3D Knitted Compression: The brace molds to the shoulder's shape through a compression knit structure. This applies consistent pressure around the joint, supporting stability while maintaining the range of motion athletes need for overhead movements, pressing, and rotational work. Detachable Gel Pad: A removable gel pad sits over the shoulder to absorb shock from unexpected impacts — hard landings, training collisions, or heavy barbell contact during pressing movements. Athletes can remove the pad for lighter training sessions where impact protection isn't needed. Dual-Strap Fastening System: Two adjustable straps keep the brace locked in position throughout a training session. This addresses one of the most common complaints about shoulder supports: they shift, loosen, or bunch up during dynamic movement, making them useless when you need them most. The brace fits either shoulder and is made from polyester, nylon, and spandex — the same material blend Anaconda uses across its 3D knitted brace line. It's machine-washable on a normal cycle, with air-drying. Designed for Active Training, Not Just Recovery Most shoulder braces on the market are designed for post-surgical recovery or light daily wear. They restrict movement, use rigid structures, and aren't designed to withstand the forces of intense training. Anaconda developed this brace with a different set of demands in mind. "We don't release anything unless it's proven in real training. Every product goes through rigorous use before it reaches athletes," said Luke Kilcoyne, Founder of Anaconda. The company's product line grew out of Kilcoyne's own experience. He suffered a torn ACL and MCL while training overseas — an injury that ended his ability to train and sparked the idea for Anaconda. The brand now offers 12 brace and support products covering knees, shoulders, elbows, wrists, ankles, back, calves, and thighs — all designed for athletes who need support that holds up under real training conditions. Who the Shoulder Brace Is For The Anaconda Shoulder Brace targets athletes in three primary categories: Strength and Fitness Athletes — Lifters, CrossFit competitors, and functional fitness athletes who perform overhead pressing, bench pressing, and Olympic lifts that load the shoulder joint under heavy weight. Research shows shoulder injuries account for up to 46% of injuries in CrossFit and weightlifting populations, with Olympic weightlifting exercises associated with 45% of new shoulder injuries in training environments. Combat Sports and Contact Athletes — Grapplers, wrestlers, and contact sport athletes who deal with repeated shoulder stress from throws, takedowns, and ground work. A 2024 study of 881 athletes found that the shoulders were the second-most commonly injured body region, accounting for 13% of all reported injuries. Athletes Returning From Injury — Competitors working back from shoulder strains, minor separations, or bursitis who need compression support and impact protection while rebuilding confidence in the joint. Sports medicine research has shown that compression braces can improve proprioceptive awareness — an athlete's sense of joint position — by stimulating cutaneous mechanoreceptors, which helps stabilize the shoulder during movement and reduces the risk of reinjury. Pricing and Availability The Anaconda Shoulder Brace is available now at anacondaperformance.com.
