Welcome Diadora, to Messner Athletics

IMAG0002Messner Athletics is now carrying Diadora soccer footwear and equipment!

Diadora has been in the soccer industry since the 1970’s, and manufacturing quality soccer products has been one of their top priorities ever since. Diadora’s innovation, technology, comfort, and durability have made them one of the top three soccer brands in America!

Technology

DD-NA 2 GLX 14Diadora products are loaded with technology to make them faster, lighter, more comfotbable, safer, and more effective.  One of the most notable improvements is in Diadora’s NET Breathing System.  This system is a synthetic fiber net at the sole of the shoe that provides ventilation for the shoe to breathe without letting water or mud in.  The NET Breathing System enhances performance by increasing endurance, concentration, and precision!

Comfortability

IMG_0698Diadora holds their leather to the highest standards.  The Maracana RTX 12 features ultra-soft, water resistant, kangaroo leather.  This kangaroo leather is the softest, most comfortable leather you will find on the market. These shoes are broken in right out of the box.  To top it off they are treated with Touch Control technology to optimize feel and ball control.

Adaptability

IMG_0696The Cambio system allows players to change their style every game.  The molded PU upper is clear so the interchangeable liners completely change the look of the shoe.  2 sets of laces and liner inserts are included so you can purchase  4 boots in 1!  All of this style comes without any sacrifice in performance: the Cambio MD PU is a durable shoe with  texture and molded ridges for enhanced control.

Complete Package

IMG_0711Diadora carries everything from footwear to apparel and equipment to training gear.  Diadora is a consistent and powerful brand in soccer everywhere and Messner Athletics is proud to have them on board!

Coaching Tips from Coach Todd Messner

So many coaches struggle to get the most out of their players.  We asked Coach Todd Messner to share some tips on how he’s able to consistently create an exciting, challenging, and competitive environment for teams of all ages and skill sets. Here is what Seymour High School’s Varsity Soccer Head Coach had to say:

Where Do Kids Learn?

Sports are a great teaching tool. I have very fond memories of playing sports growing up. If it involved a sport, then I was captivated by it. It did not matter if it was a team sport, an individual sport, or me just practicing a sport by myself on my parent’s farm. It is for this great attention that next to my parents, sports have been my biggest learning tool in life.

As a coach, it is important to make the most out of the excitement level your sport creates for your athletes. If kids thoroughly enjoy what they are doing, they are motivated to give their best focus and effort which will lead to their greatest level of performance. All coaches are passionate about their sport and that is why they want to share it with their athletes. The best way to do that is by being connected with your athletes well enough to know what drives them. Why do they like the sport? What are their aspirations? Knowing this makes them feel important to you and the team. This knowledge that you gain allows you to create an environment that is exciting which leads to your athletes wanting to share in the passion you have with your sport.

The memories your athletes will have from their time with you and their teammates will last their whole lifetime. That will be the case whether they are good memories or bad. Surely, not all of them will have all good memories, but why not make it a priority to be the most positive influence in their lives that you can. Sports have inspired me to do many wonderful things in life and achieve success. If you use the inspirational moment in their life as a teaching opportunity that you have as a coach, then success will follow for both you and your athletes now and in the future.

Coach Todd Messner has coached Club teams for DePere Select Soccer Club and Seymour Select Soccer.  He’s also won 4 Conference Championships and 4 Regional Championships since starting as Seymour High School’s very first soccer coach in 2001.

Local Soccer Store

Messner athletics is here!  We are currently working on bringing in the best brands available for soccer footwear.  We will specialize in providing quality footwear to local teams around Green Bay and the rest of Wisconsin.

Are you just getting into the sport and looking for the cheapest shoes available? If this is the case, we are NOT the company for you.  We work hard to deliver premium footwear at an affordable price.  We will strive to give our customers the greatest value around and we know that entry level shoes aren’t going to cut it.

We have a couple huge advantages that allow us to provide quality footwear at an affordable price:

1.  We are extremely lean!  We don’t pay for a huge store, tons of employees, or vast amounts of inventory.  All of that savings gets passed right down to you. You’ll find unbeatable prices at Messner Athletics!

2.  We specialize in group discounts!  Every soccer team has about 16 players and many of them will buy new shoes at the beginning of a season.  Don’t you think that if one entity was going to purchase 16 pairs of shoes, they should get a good discount?  YES!!! So do we! At Messner Athletics, we make this possible.  Each team member still gets to pick out whatever shoe they like – And everyone on the team gets a great discount!  Contact us by phone or email for more information on how much you can save with group discounts!
