Football is without a doubt the king of high school sports. With over 1 million players, youth participation in football surpasses all other sports. Despite its widespread popularity, however, playing football is not without its risks. Football players are almost three times more likely to get hurt than competitors in other sports. Thankfully, many of these injuries are preventable, and Mueller has a wide assortment of products that can help save the day and your season.
Professional Elbow Sleeve
A favorite of NCAAF and NFL players, Mueller’s Professional Elbow Sleeve is a great option for any football player looking to stay on the field. By providing compression and support, the Elbow Sleeve protects from abrasions and contusions on the field. The contoured design and thin profile helps ensure that players are able to move freely, without any hindrance.
M-Tape
Athletic Tape is one of the most widely used types of equipment across all sports, and football is no exception. Every practice and game, players have their ankles and wrists taped to help provide support and help prevent injuries. Mueller® MTape® is one of the most popular tapes on the market. It’s easy for athletes and athletic trainers to tear but still durable enough to hold up through a grueling practice or game. It is also made with a strong hospital-grade cotton that maintains grip on even the sweatiest of days.
Graduated Compression Leg Sleeves
Mueller’s Graduated Compression Leg Sleeves have a wide variety of uses. The sleeves’ unique graduated compression helps to improve blood circulation and tissue oxygenation in players’ feet, ankles, and legs. Players go to war for 60 minutes every weekend and every bit of improved circulation is crucial for helping a player stay in motion. The graduated compression fabric also helps in reducing players’ soreness and fatigue. Mueller® Exclusive HYDRASHADE™ fabric is breathable, durable and helps shield athletes from the sun with its UV protection.
No Glare® Glare-Reducing Strips
Eye Black has become synonymous with the image of a football player ready to go to battle. Players at all levels from high school to the NFL use eye black to shield their eyes from sunlight or stadium floodlights. While eye black remains a great option, many athletes are turning to alternatives like Mueller’s No Glare® Glare-Reducing Strips. The Strips won’t smear or sweat off, are easy to use and remove, and won’t stain uniforms. These Mueller Strips illustrate exactly why many players are opting to switch from eye black grease to No Glare® Glare-Reducing Strips.
Performance Wrist Guards
Whether a player is fighting through blocks on the line of scrimmage or trying to tackle a huge running back, the wrist is one of the most exposed body parts on the football field. To help combat this, Mueller designed the Performance Wrist Guards. These guards help helps reduce pain caused by the over flexion of the wrist and provide protective support to the wrists. They are adjustable for a custom fit which ensures the player has a full range of motion while wearing it. Coming in a pack of two, these wrist guards pair well with the Mueller Elbow Sleeves to protect a player at the line of scrimmage.
These products are far from the only ones in Mueller’s portfolio that can help a player stay on the field. All these products and more are available at your local Scheels store or online at Scheels.com or Muellersportsmed.com.
