A few years ago, there was a commercial campaign with Andy Roddick where he was struggling to fly with his trophy after winning a major competition.
This year, right after Roger Federer beat Andy Roddick at Wimbledon to capture his 14th Grand Slam title this commercial for NetJets aired right afterwards…
Watch these and tell me what you think. Just a weird coincidence or a subtle diss?
No, it’s a new training toy!
Anyone who has seen Team USA Saber Fencing on the road over the past few years knows that we carry with us a number of training “toys”. Red balls, massage sticks, foam rollers, stretch ropes and other oddly shaped devices to help us stay limber…(Other countries can afford to bring trainers to competitions, we can only afford to bring massage sticks lol)
Since we spend about 4 hours a day fencing, I’ve always wondered if there was a machine that could massage your legs…
Finally, I found it! It’s the Normatech MVP and you put your legs in it and it fills with air that creates pressure on your muscles. I got a chance to try it out yesterday and it’s pretty good…
The only problem is that it costs…hope you’re sitting down…5 grand!
Sadly, my dream of sitting at home writing while this thing works on my legs is dashed…back to my good old $30 dollar massage stick!
