NIKE ELITE LIVE TRAINING SESSION PUTS THE TOTAL90 LASER III BOOTS AND JUVENTUS FC TRAINING PROGRAMME TO THE TEST


Singapore (March 3, 2010) – Around 100 youths from various schools and clubs all over Singapore attended the Nike Elite Live Training session held at Tampines SAFRA last Saturday.

The scorching heat did little to sap their enthusiasm as they excitedly trialled the Total90 Laser III football boots, engaging in interactive video-based tips and drills developed by Nike’s elite football players and coaches.

Led by former national team captain Nazri Nasir, young football lovers who were aiming to improve their shooting and technique took part in the Master Accuracy training drills, conceived specially for T90 boot users by Italian football giants Juventus FC. These skills were put to the test afterwards as they attempted a series of dribbling and shooting drills as part of the Torres Challenge.

The challenge is part of the unique Nike Football+ digital experience that users of the T90 boots can enjoy. Every pair of boots comes with a unique user code that provides online access to Nike Football+, a digital coaching programme featuring a detailed ‘signature move’ from Fernando Torres of Liverpool FC, as well as expert tuition provided by the coaching team from Juventus FC.

“The digital Nike Football+ coaching programme has given young budding football players in Singapore the benefit of learning from the top coaches and players around the world. The kids had a great time trying the drills out and I think it’s good that Nike has given them the chance to learn from the best in the game,” said coach Nazri Nasir.

Participants also saw this as a chance to lace up the Total90 Laser III boots, and discover for themselves the technology behind them. 17 year-old student Muhammad Salam found his Total90 boots more comfortable than what he’s worn before. “What I’ve always liked about Nike’s boots is that they fit me well and help me to improve my game,” he said after his training session.

“It was a great experience for me to try the drills from Juventus and Torres, and this training has inspired me to train harder to bring my game to the next level!” he added.

The Nike Football+ digital coaching program can be accessed at www.nikefootball.com. The Nike Football+ training package provides exclusive access to the world’s elite teams, allowing players to enhance their level of play and better equip them for game day preparation.

The Total90 Laser III boot is now available at the Nike stores for S$319.
