#UnderArmour teamed up with Jayde Riviere, Manchester United and Canadian national team player, to host an immersive training experience for the next generation of female #soccer players. We hosted a clinic at Jayde’s home Pickering Football Club (PFC) and provided an opportunity for young athletes to train alongside Jayde and learn what it takes to compete on the international stage. The on-field experience featured an elite training session designed by Jayde’s former PFC coach to enhance participants' skills and knowledge of the game. Off-field, the athletes had a chance to hear about Jayde's journey and ask her questions in a fireside chat hosted by sportscaster Kate Beirness. https://lnkd.in/ecxM_STT

🏀 Curry Brand signs Keisei Tominaga as First International Athlete 🏀 Professional Japanese Guard Keisei Tominaga made quite a splash as a breakout star on the NCAA #basketball scene this past season. In his senior year as a guard for the University of Nebraska men’s basketball team, Tominaga earned second team All-Big Ten honors, was the leading scorer averaging north of 15 points per game, and won this year’s college 3-Point Championship contest. His basketball journey began in #Japan where he was a standout high school player and was tapped multiple times to represent his country in international competition and most recently competed for Japan in 3x3 Basketball in the Tokyo Olympics. As the first international athlete to sign with Curry Brand, Tominaga will wear #Curry Brand footwear and apparel on the court as he enters this next stage in his basketball career. Off the court, he will be a brand ambassador, expanding Curry Brand’s reach and commitment to change the game for good in Japan and around the world. https://lnkd.in/eG_AYUBt

To kickoff #Pride Month festivities, the #UnderArmour LGBTQIA+ Teammate Resource Group, UNIFIED, has curated a series of activities for members and allies to gather and celebrate as one community. Last week, our teammates heard from three inspiring LGBTQIA+ Under Armour collegiate athletes during a panel moderated by Unified leaders. This was followed by an evening of mingling, music, and shopping the ’24 Pride Collection at our Baltimore Brand House. We were thrilled to gather as a community to uplift LGBTQIA+ teammate and athlete voices, and look forward to many more moments to come together throughout Pride Month and the rest of the year to support and celebrate our teammates. 

Earlier this year, Brynlee Walker wrote a letter to Stephen Curry and the Curry Brand team asking for help with fitting her special braces, which she wears for hypotonia in her feet, into her favorite Curry Brand shoes. The team got to work; we pledged to find a solution for her within our footwear options and Stephen made sure Brynlee got the surprise of a lifetime, meeting her and her family at the Curry Brand pop-up in Indianapolis at NBA All-Star.   Fast forward to May, Brynlee and the Walkers came down to Baltimore to visit the team that made her custom Curry Brand shoes. The Walkers got a full tour of Under Armour HQ and learned firsthand about the innovative technology that goes into making Under Armour and Curry Brand sneakers. Thank you, Brynlee and the entire Walker family, for helping us #ProtectThisHouse
