ZAMST Signs Advisory Contract with Shogo Akiyama
ZAMST, a renowned brand specializing in support and care products for sports, has recently entered into an advisory contract with Shogo Akiyama, a standout player from the Hiroshima Toyo Carp. This partnership represents a significant step for both ZAMST and Akiyama as they focus on enhancing athletic performance and promoting injury prevention.
Background of the Advisory Contract
At 37 years old and in his fifteenth professional season, Akiyama continues to showcase his prowess on the baseball field. Last season, he recorded an impressive 158 hits, finishing third in the league. Moreover, he earned his first Gold Glove award since returning to Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB), highlighting his ongoing evolution as an athlete. With a personal target of achieving 2,000 career hits, Akiyama is keen on leading his team to victory both offensively and defensively.
The professional baseball arena is notorious for its demanding schedule, which involves numerous games and extensive travel. Consequently, players like Akiyama must prioritize conditioning and injury prevention. He uses ZAMST's innovative products such as the Arm Sleeve for arm compression and Footcraft insoles in his game spikes and training shoes to combat fatigue, thereby allowing him to maintain peak physical performance throughout the grueling season.
As part of their new partnership, ZAMST aims to provide Akiyama with unwavering support through its product offerings, ensuring he can tackle any challenges that arise. Their collaboration seeks to alleviate concerns surrounding fatigue and injury, empowering Akiyama as he embarks on another season of fierce competition.
Akiyama's Comments
Akiyama expressed his gratitude for the partnership, stating, "I am very pleased and grateful for this contract. While the Arm Sleeve is often visible during games, there are many other support products like the insoles that play vital roles in supporting my performance and health. I look forward to continuing my battle alongside ZAMST’s products."
