Empowering Coaches OFF the Track

If you’ve read any of our blogs or social media posts, you’ll often hear us talk about how we are constantly trying to improve and innovate. Of course, the biggest reasons for this are to make sure our products are the safest or the best. We want to empower coaches and athletes. Every now and then though we challenge ourselves to improve a product that, at least when it comes to its main function, doesn’t need improving.

Our collegiate level crossbar is a well performing crossbar. It has durable thick-walled pultruded fiberglass. It meets NFHS and NCAA specifications.  The performance was never the problem we were solving with our redesign, so all of that stayed the same. What we did decide to improve was its size. If we could somehow split the bar up into pieces, then that would reduce charges and expedite shipping. We could save coaches money and time, but we had to make sure we did not sacrifice the performance.

Well challenge accepted and met! Our team was able to split the crossbar into 3 pieces so that each piece can be shipped in a small package. Once the 3 Piece Crossbar arrives it can be easy assembled and ready to use for Pole Vault or High Jump with the same great performance as the original.  This is just one example of how we are always trying to empower coaches both on AND off the track.
