Soccer Mania? We Love It!

It appears as though the winds of summer have brought us some good old fashioned soccer mania. First the Pro Trainer staff visited the Far West Region Championships in Lancaster CA to watch the State Cup champs from 14 western states battle it out for the right to go the National Championships in Lancaster MA in July. Lancaster CA is normally a toasty hot place in summer but this year we got lucky and had very mild weather with only one day in the 90’s. Made for some nice playing weather. Once again Cal South had the most success but overall there was some great soccer played all around the massive complex of fields in Lancaster.

Then the Confederations Cup came along and we thought it was three and out for the USA until the shocker game against Egypt put them through to the semis. Who could have imagined such a result. Then a match up with Spain! I would not have bet on them to do well against Spain but to all of our surprise they played wonderful and won. Wow.

The final against Brazil actually seems to have brought out some national soccer pride in the USA and that is good thing that needs to be built up as much as possible to help motivate our young players to rise to the national levle and represent out nation on the global stage of soccer.

And finally some of this soccer mania seems to be hitting us as well. Our markjeting efforts have yielded an unprecedented number of requests for our free DVD of the Pro Trainer soccer ball machine. We will be behind scheudle in full filling those requests due to the large number but that is a good problem to have these days.
