Tim Notke was a high school basketball coach and used this to inspire his team. He believed that no matter how talented you are , if you don’t work hard nothing will happen for you.

Any athlete or sportsperson will know that with hard work and application to their chosen sports there are often setbacks such as injury, fatigue, muscle overload and pain.

These setbacks are often debilitating for the athlete, frustrating for the coach and costly for the teams. 

Injury prevention is an important first step in setting out a training regime. Appropriate clothing and equipment will help the athlete to perform in the best possible way by reducing the risk of injuries.  

 Hip pain and groin pain are extremely common in athletes who perform activities that involve sprinting, changing direction, kicking and crouching. These sports often include football, soccer, rugby, field hockey, netball, ice hockey, tennis and athletics.

 Compression shorts have often been used to help prevent injuries to the groin, hip and hamstrings.  There are special medical grade compression shorts for hip and groin pain that not only help to relieve pain but by wearing during training may help reduce the risks of injury.

 These special compression shorts are available online at www.supacore.com 

 Supacore Coretech shorts and leggings are medical grade compression with a built-in (knitted) sacroiliac joint belt.  The sacroiliac joint belt (SJ belt) is often used by sports physiotherapists to help stabilize the core and the pelvis in athletes suffering from groin overload, Osteitis Pubis (OP) or groin and hip pain. The Coretech shorts are manufactured using seamless knitting technology which provides several benefits for the wearer: no bulky seams, reduced chaffing, durability and longer lasting medical-grade targeted compression. Coretech uses Ribtech technology -tightly grouped “spring-like” body-mapped ribbing over glutes, hamstring, hip and tensor fasciae latae and quadriceps providing micro massaging (mimicking kinesiology) to muscle groups.

The Coretech shorts and leggings are an essential item to be included in any athlete’s kit. Coretech shorts can help to reduce Osteitis Pubis (OP) recovery time, will contribute to a faster recovery from hip and hamstring injury and assist in preventing re-injury. 

 If there is any ligament injury or groin pain from muscle or tendon strain especially in athletes that have to suddenly stop, change directions or kick harder, the Coretech shorts will help speed-up recovery.
