WHAT THE EXPERTS THINK.

 

Dr. Patrick J. Cohn of Peak Performance Sports: “Confidence is everything in sports. As a coach or sports parent, you have to use every method you can to support your athlete’s confidence. Golden Laces™ is another way coaches and parents can help build and support athletes’ self-confidence.” www.peaksports.com

 

 

 

 

 

Noted Sports Psychologist Caroline Silby, Ph. D. stated: “Golden Laces™ sound like a fun way to help athletes reconnect with their past success. Team members could use the laces to represent a controllable aspect of performance, such as teamwork or effort, which contributes to their overall success.Younger teams might like the idea of bonding over the secret meaning of their laces. It is really all about the meaning the athletes assign to them!” www.drsilby.com

 

 

 

 

 

Dr. Casey Cooper Sports Psychologist and Radio Host: “The ‘Professionalization’ of sports at the youth levels has created an unfortunate consequence, intense competition & Drop Out! The #1 reason kids leave sports is, ‘It’s NOT FUN anymore!’ Using Golden Laces provides coaches and parents an avenue to bring back the FUN by motivating athletes with something other than a trophy or medal.” www.drcaseycooper.com

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WHAT THE CUSTOMERS THINK.

 

Tyler from Ridgway Wrestling: “Winning the Golden Laces means that I am going to work hard every day at practice... Every time I look at my Golden Laces it reminds me how much hard work I did and that all the time my coaches and parents put in to show me different moves paid off.”

 

Sam from Shaler Wrestling: “I like my Golden Laces because every time I put my wrestling shoes on I think about how I can be a champion and how I beat kids I didn't last year. The laces remind me of all the hard work it took to win 4 top 100 tournaments.”

 

Lia Rigsby, the President of Wylie Wrestling Club stated: “The laces were received very well [by the tournament champions]!! The children cared more about the laces than the medals!” Wylie Wrestling Club

 

Rick Smith of North Hills Wrestling: “The kids loved the laces and we plan to order them again for our January, 2010 tournament.” North Hills Wrestling

 

Meghan Bushue, Head Coach of LISC U14 2009 USYSA National Champions, stated: “Our team was provided with Golden Laces after winning the President's Cup national championship. The Golden Laces gave our girls another chance to get recognition for their tremendous accomplishment. Hardware is great to put on your shelf at home, but no one sees it, everyone sees the laces, and knows that we did something pretty special!” LISC
