Pro Trainer Featured In New TV Spot

soccer — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 18:08:43 +0000

Yesterday we went to the San Jose Earthquakes home field at Santa Clara University to help shoot one of the new TV spots for the upcoming MLS season. The production company hired on four of our Pro Trainers to test GKer Jon Busch as part of the fun and amusing campaign they are building to promote the Quakes this year.

We lined up four of the Pro Trainers and fired rapid succession shots at Jon and captured his excellent saves for the video. Jon said, “this is a lot of fun!”. And we were glad to be a part of it.

This was a little bit of a challenge getting four machines synced up so they fire at the right time for each type of shot. But we proved it could be done. We timed out so that each machine would fire a ball at Jon in rotation and give him enough time to recover from each save before the next ball was fired. We gave Jon some hard shots to save. Each machine was set for a different challenge ranging from high tip over, rolling kick save, to a flying dive to his left. All within about 12 seconds….

This was a good example of giving a GKer some quality soccer training using the Pro Trainer and while under the lights and pressure of a TV production environment.

USA Scores Biggest Win At World Cup

soccer — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 00:43:19 +0000

OK I won’t lie. I wish I was in South Africa right now soaking up all the terrific World Cup action. And today I would have given just about anything to witness the USA vs Algeria match. As it was I was right on the edge of the couch going crazy as the minutes wound down in this one of a kind match. My buddy Chiuck and I were hooting and hollering and urging the US team on as the tension mounted to an almost unbearable level.

The game moved into added time and all seemed lost. The USA were going home from the Cup with nothing to show but disappointment. Then Algeria makes an attack and Tim saves the shot. Boom the man with the golden arm launches a service out to the flank. My god he threw the ball like a laser to Landon on full sprint and the counter attack was on. Could it be? Could this be the chance?

As we edged farther onto the front of our seat (could we go much farther and not fall on the floor?) the USA had numbers going forward. Landon, Jozy, and Clint are all on the full sprint to the Algeria goal. And then suddenly a shot is taken, another good save from the Algeria keeper, but in a blink there is Landon swooping in to scoop up the rebound and slot home the goal. AMAZING. I was now on my feet going crazy with joy. Oh my god the soccer gods heard our prayer and delivered us a goal and redemption from the bad ref calls in game two and the first half of this one. Could this be real? Well indeed it was and the boys closed out the game for the victory.

In the space of a few minutes the USA went from going home to winning the group and going to the next round. Simply friggin amazing stuff. USA soccer skill is rising folks and we are so happy to be a part of it. Time to hit the training pitch and get the next group of stars ready for the next World Cup. Already team USA is making history.

New Designs – Unique Perspectives

soccer — Mon, 17 May 2010 20:09:46 +0000

Here at Pro Trainer Soccer we are always looking to innovate our product if we can. Sometimes you have to make decisions based on economics. That is just the way of the world. So it is good to get outside input when possible.

So when we were approached this year by several engineering students at two East Coast university’s saying they wanted to get hold of a Pro Trainer and use it for their class projects we said sure. Let’s open up the brain box and get some new ideas and perspectives on it.

Well one of the projects is done and we just got a preview of it today and well this student has done a remarkable job. Evan Moghadam is a senior at the University of Cincinnati and did his senior design project on how to recycle soccer balls back onto our machine without picking them up. An auto feed system if you will. Now we have designed our own version of a backyard goal/recycling system over the years but we only use it in our own training as it was too bulky to sell.

So as you can see from this image below Evan has come up with a working design to have players pass the ball to the machine and have them get picked up and recycled to the Pro Trainer. This has awesome application for the backyard training model using the Pro Trainer.
