Marco Förster:

“My work with R.O.P.E.S. tells me, that there are very good business opportunities in this fantastic Training System here in Austria. I have a very good experience the last years in using this system in both Rehab, Professional Sports (like Ice Hockey, Ski Jumping, Ski Alpin and Tennis) and as a personal trainer. I look forward to working much more with R.O.P.E.S. and I’m sure that we will succeed in getting this Training System more known in Austria.”

R.O.P.E.S har blitt et vanlig virkemiddel i opptrening av topputøvere. Her er oppslag i VG som viser at Olympiatoppen bruker systemet for å bedre motorisk kontroll.

Som igjen forhåpentligvis forbedrer ytelse. Ndures mage var for svak, av den grunn startet grunntrening med slynger.

Det finske skiskytterlandslaget deltok på den årlige Blink festivalen som ble arrangert i Sandnes i august. Her ble de presentert for R.O.P.E.S konseptet.

Og de ble umiddelbart overbevist om at dette ville forbedre de fysiske forutsetningene for god teknikk. Hovedtrener Jonne Kahkonen har god tro på at dette vil utgjøre en vesentlig forskjell fra tidligere trening.
