The German national soccer player Malick Thiaw is training meticulously for his comeback and for participation in the European Championship. He is supported by Under Armor with new training equipment and is aggressive with his sporting goals in 2024.
What the European Football Championship is for professional athletes like Malick Thiaw is perhaps the first Tough Mudder or the Hyrox Challenge for amateur athletes. But no matter what sporting highlight this year has in store, the right preparation always plays an important role, because every step, every second and every centimeter could be decisive. That’s why Under Armor supports all athletes with a new, highly functional and stylish training collection for their 2024 goals.
The German national player and UA athlete Malick Thiaw benefits from the new collection like no other. After a serious thigh injury in the Champions League game against Borussia Dortmund, the 22-year-old AC Milan defender is working on his comeback in the weight room:
“Especially in my situation, where I’m in the gym every day, I’m well equipped – but I also like to wear Under Armor in my free time. Every week I complete a plan that includes a variety of exercises. At first there were a lot of isometric movements, but now I can move around more again – that’s a lot more fun (laughs).“
Physicality plays a big role for the three-time national player. That’s why he continually works on his form in the gym during the season, although that’s not always easy, even for a professional. His tip: set goals. Because with a clear goal in mind, everyone finds it easier to train. With a view to the European Championships in Germany, Malick explains: “Being nominated for the national team is always a special honor. That’s why I hope to be there in the summer too and, as soon as I’m back on the pitch, I’ll do everything I can to ensure that the coach is convinced of me and takes me along.“
Malick Thiaw has been part of the Under Armor athlete squad for over six months and appreciates the advantages and functions of the products on and off the pitch. “The outfits and shoes fit perfectly, the whole team is super nice,” said the 22-year-old.
A special highlight from Malick’s closet: The UA TriBase Reign 6. With its rubberized and non-slip sole, the shoe offers uncompromising support during every workout. In addition, the integrated TriBase technology promotes ground contact and covers the side areas of the foot for an optimal fit.
The WARP upper material gives the training shoe the optimal durability and air permeability that it needs for fast-paced and dynamic movements in the gym. The shoe also features a heel clip and dual-density midsole that ensure unbeatable comfort during your next workout
