HYDROGRIP BALLS

With the fall sports season ramping up, it’s worth focusing on the majority of athletes who finish with a loss. From youth leagues to the Olympics—where nearly 10,000 athletes left Paris without a medal, sports demand grueling training, heartbreak, and inevitable failure. Yet, as Stoic philosophers and modern psychologists remind us, this suffering is precisely what shapes character, meaning, and even happiness. Sports give us a chosen form of hardship that teaches resilience, purpose, and the path to true mastery.

With the bulk of the summer season behind us and National Junior Olympics approaching, goalies need to adjust our training accordingly. Here are a few things to focus on in the remaining days of your preparation to maximize your performance in the goal.

When you're coaching a water polo team or organizing a club, getting gear for your athletes shouldn't feel like a full-time job. Between collecting sizes, ordering suits, tracking down payments, and making sure everyone gets what they need on time—traditional ordering methods can be a logistical headache.

That’s why more coaches and program directors are turning to custom team stores. And at KAP7, we’ve created a streamlined, easy-to-use system that makes outfitting your team simple, stress-free, and professional.
