Nike Young Athletes Innovation Summit: We’re Going! #NikeKids

Later this week my niece Maddie and I will be flying to Portland, Oregon to visit the Nike Campus and attend the Nike Young Athletes Innovation Summit. We are so excited about this trip and very appreciative to Nike for including us in this one-of-a-kind event! I’ve heard that no-one does an event quite like Nike, so I am sure it will be pretty spectacular.

It’s impressive to me that a huge company like Nike is so invested in promoting young athletes. Maddie and her 2 siblings are competition cheerleaders. I realize there are probably some people that don’t view cheerleading as a sport, but they are probably unaware of how much conditioning, hard work and training a competition cheerleader does. Maddie is very fortunate to be part of a championship team and receive tumbling instruction from a former Olympic coach. The best part about being part of a competition cheerleading team is the friendships that are formed.

In this culture of convenience, so many young people don’t get enough exercise. Team sports is a great way for children to develop friendships, gain confidence and keep fit. The kids in our family have always been involved in sports such as football, soccer, and even a bowling league. Wearing good athletic shoes like the ones from Nike is a must when participating in any of these sports.
