About this deal
By age 28, Sophie Pascoe had faced more challenges than many do in a lifetime. After losing her leg below the knee in a lawnmower accident at two years old, she discovered her talent for swimming and soon took the sport by storm, dominating international competition while coping with the highs and lows of becoming one of New Zealand's most decorated athletes. “I know first-hand what it takes to be a Para champion, and it has certainly been a physical and emotional rollercoaster,” she said. “What athletes do is not the norm. I’ve trained my body and my mind to maximize the most of myself while managing all the added challenges that come with having a disability.” Under Armour Releases 2021 Sustainability & Impact Report, Outlines New Strategic Framework, Goals, and Targets Stephanie Linnartz will join Under Armour as President, Chief Executive Officer, and member of its Board of Directors, effective February 27, 2023.
When Stephen Curry requested more compression sleeves to support an injury, Under Armour answered the call in less than 24 hours.Last month, ahead of pre-season with his club – Saracens – and in preparation for the France 2023 Rugby World Cup, Under Armour athlete and England International Maro Itoje travelled to Portland, Oregon, for a 10-day pre-season camp at the Under Armour Human Performance Centre. A world-class facility built for performance excellence, the Human Performance Institute hosts UA’s best athletes, who come to be assessed and learn about how they can become better. In the months leading up to the camp, Under Armour’s Human Performance Team worked with both Saracens and the England Rugby Football Union to build a program for Maro that best prepares his body and his mind for rugby pre-season. The training program focused on three elements: supporting Maro’s basic aerobic conditioning, improving his breathing and movement efficiency, and facilitating injury prevention.
To give every stride more purpose, efficiency, momentum, and acceleration, UA set out to break the tape with the development of a new marathon shoe: the UA Flow Velociti Elite. This revolutionary shoe features award-winning UA Flow technology and is redefining fast for pro athletes chasing the finish line during race season.Under Armour introduces the all new UA HOVR™ Phantom 3: a neutral, responsive running shoe designed for specialty athletes training to compete—those who would do anything to improve in the offseason so they may perform at their best in season. Fully tested and validated by UA Athletes, the UA HOVR™ Phantom 3 maintains the Phantom’s reputation as UA’s most versatile running shoe. It delivers the speed and propulsion that athletes demand from a performance running shoe while maintaining the comfort and stability needed from a training shoe. In developing the UA HOVR Phantom 3, the footwear design team analyzed the demands of the sport-driven athlete who is hitting the pavement through short runs and intervals as part of a comprehensive training regimen. The HOVR Phantom 3 seamlessly transitions from treadmill to gym, making it a must have for athletes who run for sport. Coaches are elemental to the success of their team and the motivation of their players. But unfortunately the playing field is far from level. Minority football players and even the fans at home don’t see themselves represented on the sidelines. That needs to change.

Dezeen Events Guide When it comes to footwear, today's ballplayers want it all – style, speed and simplicity. Enter the Curry 4 FloTro, which combines style elements from the fan-favorite Curry 4 with Under Armour’s award-winning UA Flow technology. The first in a series of reimagined models set to debut this year, the Curry 4 FloTro pays homage to the shoe that propelled Stephen in some of his most historic performances. While wearing Curry 4, Stephen became the fastest player in NBA history to achieve 2,000 career three-pointers and helped the Golden State Warriors clinch the 2017 championship title during a highly anticipated rematch of the prior year’s playoffs.This season was a remarkable one for Stephen Curry as he continued to reach new heights in his basketball career. After cementing himself as the best three-point shooter in league history, Stephen took home his fourth NBA Championship title and unanimously clinched the honor of Finals MVP. It’s only fitting that he will top off the year by eclipsing another milestone: the launch of the Curry Flow 10 – his tenth signature shoe with Under Armour and third under Curry Brand. Kiawah Island, once a desolate location situated on the Atlantic Ocean between Charleston and Savannah, is now a lively vacation destination home to the Ocean Course — a storied par-72 golf course that has hosted legendary tournaments such as the “War by the Shore” Ryder Cup more than two decades ago. This week, three-time major winner Jordan Spieth will compete in the PGA Championship with hopes to secure a Career Grand Slam, having already finished atop the leaderboard at the Masters (2015), U.S. Open (2015) and Open Championship (2017). Jordan would be the sixth golfer in history to accomplish this feat, something he strives for every season when the PGA Championship, this final missing piece, comes around. During a press briefing on Tuesday, Spieth shared his sentiments saying, “I feel like I’ll have a lot of chances at this tournament and if I just focus on trying to take advantage of this golf course, play it the best I can and kind of stay in the same form tree to green I’ve been in, all I can ask for is a chance.”
