UNDER Armour has announced the “UA Combine” to test the limits and unleash the potential of sports enthusiasts.
For the first time ever, the “train to compete” on “UA Combine”, the highest benchmark in athlete performance as proclaimed by Under Armour, will put athletes from any sport or training discipline to the test, allowing them to uncover their true capabilities through professional-level challenges designed for professional athletes.
Justin Olivares, marketing director for Under Armour South Asia-Pacific shared: “Human performance is at the core of the Under Armour brand. With UA Combine, we envisage this to be more than just a competition of testing skill and athleticism.
“It will be a unique and exciting experience for athletes around the region to really challenge themselves mentally and physically and become better versions of themselves.”
