AUSTIN, TX (Jan. 12, 2016) – The U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association (USSA) has announced a partnership with TriggerPoint™ Performance, a division of the Implus Corporation and leading performance, therapy and education product innovator, to be the “Official Self-Massage Therapy Devices” of the U.S. Ski Team and U.S. Snowboarding.
This three-year partnership provides TriggerPoint products and education to USSA athletes, coaches, and trainers annually for inclusion in their national training and education facility, the Center of Excellence, in Park City, Utah. At the Utah facility, the USSA provides leadership for thousands of young skiers and snowboarders at all levels.
“This partnership is a great example of TriggerPoint’s continued efforts to seek partners who build upon the mission of empowering today’s athletes to move better through improved mobility, range of motion, and tissue strength,” said Marco Garsed, Vice President of Marketing for Implus. “We foresee a dynamic partnership with USSA and look forward to helping these young stars achieve their athletic goals.”
As part of the partnership, the USSA will receive TriggerPoint’s patented massage and recovery tools, including the GRID® and GRID® X foam rollers, NANO, TP Massage™ Balls, GRID® 2.0, and the new handheld foam roller, the GRID® STK. TriggerPoint will also educate USSA training staff about product usage so that athletes can learn to use and incorporate the products prior to, and after workouts to take care of their bodies as best as possible.
“A key focus of USSA’s high performance department is to ensure our athletes’ bodies are as strong and healthy as possible for competitions,” said USSA Chief Marketing Officer Michael Jaquet. “The inclusion of TriggerPoint’s products, incorporated with educational opportunities, will help the USSA continue to provide support to our athletes in all aspects of their training.”
