Smooth-Dribbling Soccer Cleats
2Left fullback Suzie Martinez steals the ball from the other team in the championship game of the season. Rival player Jen Smith tries to recover the ball, but she slips on the sloppy, wet field. Suzie glides easily around her fallen opponent and kicks the ball toward the goal. The other team’s defensive player backpedals in an attempt to block Suzie’s kick, but falls in front of the goal. Suzie’s teammate, Becky Fuller, is ready and waiting when the ball comes to her. Becky shifts her weight and throws herself into a kick, scoring the winning goal.
3After the game, the reporter from the school paper asks, "Suzie what's your secret to winning in these terrible playing conditions?" Suzie replies, “You have to have the right shoes. It’s all about the spikes!"
Base-Stealing Baseball Cleats
4It’s the bottom of the ninth inning and the score is tied at the boy’s baseball championship game. There’s no one on base as Tommy Strom steps up to bat. The first two pitches are outside, but the third pitch is right down the middle. Tommy winds up and hits it far into right field. He drops the bat and sprints toward first base. He rounds second as the right fielder fumbles the ball before throwing it to third. In all the excitement, the third baseman’s back foot slips, causing him to drop the ball. Tommy rounds third and heads for home base just as the third baseman manages to throw in the same direction. Tommy pushes off with his right foot for extra speed and slides into home base seconds before the ball hits the catcher’s mitt.
5When a reporter from the local news station asks Tommy how he managed this unusual homerun, Tommy replies, “It’s these magical cleats!”
