We have some awesome guys working in the shop, all specialising in different sports. In order for you guys to get a feel for the team they have answered some huegly sport and shop specific questions and I will blog their answers over the following weeks.
We will start with Dr David Draper.... Our newest recruit:
Name David Draper
Works - 3 days during the week and on Saturdays
Specialist Sport - Crossfit (Level 1 instructor), Surfing (laid back world travelling club!), Snowboarding (anywhere the powder is knee deep and fresh), Gymnastics (Gold medal in some club competition aged 14!)
Sporting Hero - Kelly Slater (9 x ASP World Surf Champion) for being regarded universally as the best surfer that has ever lived - i think a very rare thing to achieve amongst your peers.
Sporting Villain - Didier Drogba - for continually falling over at the slightest of touches and sometimes even when never touched at all! (but he has admittedly got better this season!)
Best Product and Why - Vibram Five Fingers - unusual, pioneering, niche but still selling like hotcakes (wish i'd thought of them!)
Top 5 Products in an NRS supermarket sweep - Vibrams, Adidas Kanadias, Under armour thermals, Kettlebells, Nike Blue/Black running shorts
Hottest Sportsperson. - Alison the American pole vaulter (google it!)
David's a PT and very much into functional training and is knoweldgeable about all of our fitness equipement and clothing and has also been asked by customers to help them get in shape. He also loves his new Taupe Vibrams.
David has also recently played tennis in running trainers and doofed up his ankle as he didnt listen to the shop advise... let that be a lesson to all of ya!.
I do however 100% agree with Alison the American Pole Vaulter.
Ndubz.
Yep, should have listened to Nick and bought those nice K-swiss tennis shoes! However, if i buy all the cool things in the shop i'll be broke! :)
