What if you can become great? Fundamentally change the way you practice, improve agility, be unpredictable, and become a commanding presence on the court. Practice moves you’ve never even dreamed of. Learn how your body occupies space, how you can use it to efficiently improve your ball handling, and build explosive speed with each workout. Practice as if you were playing a game. Increase your endurance and stamina with quick bursts of energy. Now imagine this is all happening on your wrist. You raise your wrist. You see a path to greatness staring back at you. Sprints, cuts, switchbacks, spins, curves, and if that's not enough of a challenge, you can create your own paths. You can even have your friend, family member, coach, or worst enemy create a workout for you. Increase or decrease the agility, test your skills with varying levels of randomness, focus on high speed sprints over short distances or learn to pace yourself for the long haul. Learn how to dribble the ball all over again, but this time with purpose. Visualize the entire play at a glance. Every move choreographed to bring the best athlete within you to the court when it counts. You’ve never practiced this way before. You’re used to getting stuck in the same old routine. Your teammate lazily passes you the ball over and over in a bland excuse of a practice session. Games are random, chaotic, you don’t know what’s going to happen next, you need to be ready for anything. Once you run down your first path, there’s no applause, no pat on the back, no confetti. There’s just a completely different path staring back at you. You know right then and there, this is real, when you do the work, it actually can pay off. One play after the other, doing moves that your opponents can't anticipate. After a while, you don’t even think about the ball, it becomes part of you, you become the ball. All because of a little dotted yellow path on your wrist. What’s that? You want to do all this under pressure? There is a countdown timer for that. Getting one last shot off before the buzzer will easily wear you out. But don’t stop there, goals for distance run, energy burned, and number of shots will also demand your excellence on court. There are no digital stickers for reaching your goals. Instead, you are the award, your athleticism and prowess on the court is your prize. Shooting percentage, heart and health performance data, streaks, makes, misses, location on the court, and other stats are available for basketball, soccer, tennis, pickleball, golf, football, ice hockey, field hockey, cricket, volleyball, water polo, table tennis, archery, badminton, baseball, rugby, handball, lacrosse, and general target practice.
