Warren Laboratories LLC – Track & Field Coaches Clinic of Texas Sponsor

George Warren, an Independent research chemist in Houston, Texas, developed the special processing method that prevents the spoilage without diminishing the essential properties of the Aloe Vera plant. This new method completely eliminates the aloins, which gives a bitter taste (and the greenish color) to Aloe Vera juices. He also successfully removed the starches and sugars from the polysaccharide molecular chain and thus, George’s “Always Active^®” Aloe requires no refrigeration, will not spoil in its natural state. This method adds no water, no preservatives, no chemicals of any kind. The finished product looks and tastes like spring water.

Q. What are the benefits from drinking Georges Aloe Vera liquid? A. Aloe has been used for centuries to help in maintaining a healthy digestive tract. Evidence through different studies seems to indicate that beneficial properties in the Aloe help in allowing the body to maintain a healthy mucous membrane system.

Q. How often should I drink Georges Aloe Vera liquid?
A. For optimum results, we recommend drinking 2 ounces in the morning before breakfast and 2 ounces in the evening before bedtime.

Quite simply, Georges Aloe Vera liquid is healthy, and athletes all over the world benefit from its results.  Talk with Warren Laboratories at the Track & Field Coaches Clinic of Texas, and learn more about them here: http://www.warrenlabsaloe.com/default.htm

Byrdband Arm Trainer – Track & Field Coaches Clinic of Texas Sponsor

The Byrdband has been developed to improve speed and efficiency through proper arm action.

How It Works

•What is Byrdband?

Byrdband is an arm trainer that teaches athletes how to hold their arms at the proper position while running. It is made of poly-elastic webbing that attaches to the bicep crease and the wrist.  Also, it is adjustable to fit all sizes.

•How does it work?

One of the most difficult challenges for advance runners and beginners is proper arm action.  Byrdband creates the perfect arm action very simple and easy by preventing the arms from dropping, crossing, and being held too high.

One style of proof is the testimonial: click on this link to read about Byrdband from those who love them: http://www.byrdband.com/testimonial.php

DYNAMAX – Track & Field Coaches Clinic of Texas Sponsor

DYNAMAX was founded by two coaches who believed in the multiple benefits of medicine ball training for all athletes as the perfect general conditioning tool. They searched throughout the market for a ball that would be durable and withstand repeated high impact. No such ball could be found.

So they designed their own.

DYNAMAX WAS BORN!!

First a cottage industry serving a small circle, now athletes, coaches and personal trainers worldwide use Dynamax medicine balls. It is the champions’ choice used by NCAA athletic programs and professional sports franchises at work in virtually every sport, at all levels and all ages.

Dynamax Inc is a Texas corporation founded in 1985 by coaches Bruce Evans and Jim Cawley. This handcrafted medicine ball is manufactured at the company headquarters located in Buda, Texas between Austin and San Antonio and distributed worldwide. The Dynamax medicine ball has become the overwhelming choice of professional sports strength and conditioning coaches around the world.

THE PRODUCTS Dynamax medicine balls range in weights from 4 to 20 lb and are made from 70% post-consumer recycled materials. All balls are 14″ in diameter, impact absorbing and moisture resistant. The standard colors and many custom colors are available. The casing design and construction ensures that Dynamax balls remain dimensionally stable and balanced. Our trade secret and craftsmanship guarantee that each ball, regardless of weight, has a friendly feel and will absorb high velocity impact, making for a fun and vigorous workout.

THE PRIMARY QUESTION When choosing a medicine ball for your fitness training, the primary question you should ask is: Can I catch this ball when thrown at its highest velocity? If the answer is yes, you have a training tool for life. If not you need to consider Dynamax – American Made. Athlete Approved.

GTM Sportswear – Track & Field Coaches Clinic of Texas Sponsor

The GTM Culture

A passionate entrepreneur since the age of six, Dave Dreiling grew up in the small towns of Smith Center and Concordia, Kansas, before coming to Manhattan and graduating from K-State in 1989 with a Bachelor of Science in Marketing.  Upon graduation, he sold the limousine business he started while in college and he and a business partner traded their cars for vans and started “It’s Greek To Me.”  They traveled the United States selling sportswear to fraternities and sororities.  Since then, GTM Sportswear has grown to include over 800 team members.  For 22 years, the company’s average annual growth rate is 25%.  Headquartered in Manhattan, Kansas, GTM sells customized imprinted sportswear to cheer and gymnastic squads, athletic teams, booster clubs, corporations, outdoor enthusiasts, and other related markets throughout the United States and abroad. Outside of Manhattan, GTM has showrooms in Lawrence, Kansas, and Omaha, Nebraska.  GTM also operates the K-State Super Store and Cats Closet in Manhattan, as well as the KU Super Store in Lawrence.

Vision and Values at GTM Sportswear

Our values are the cornerstone of our company culture and the people that make up that culture.  They do not change from time to time, from situation to situation or from person to person.  Our values are what makes GTM such a great place to work and why others want to work here.  The difficult part is maintaining those values.  When a situation, decision or behavior falls outside our values, we must be prudent at raising awareness and taking initiative to challenge it.  By maintaining our core values, regardless of how large we become, we can retain what makes GTM such a special place.

The two statements above – taken directly from the GTM website – exhibit a firm belief in quality and integrity, one of the reasons the TTFCA is proud to have GTM as a clinic sponsor.  Visit GTM at http://gtmsportswear.com/Default.aspx

Over the past decade, Gill has experienced significant growth—both through the expansion of our own diverse product lines, as well as the acquisition of highly respected companies such as Porter Athletic, a leader in basketball, volleyball and other indoor and outdoor equipment.

The largest producer of track and field equipment in the world, Gill holds the distinction of being  the Official Equipment Supplier of USA Track and Field. We go to painstaking lengths to build products to the most exacting standards, and that meet the precise specifications of the IAAF, NCAA and NFSHSA. In fact Gill currently produces more IAAF-certified products than anyone in the industry.

Part of what makes Gill the preferred choice of coaches, facility designers and athletes everywhere is innovation. Our patented technological advances set new industry standards for performance, safety and durability. Our athletic equipment is also “value-engineered”—that is, we use production techniques and processes that achieve the highest quality product at the lowest possible price.
