There are content trips, and then there are content trips. Our three-day sprint through Denver was the second kind — wall-to-wall interviews, nonstop filming, and some of the strongest athlete stories we’ve ever captured. What we came home with wasn’t just footage. It was energy. It was belief. It was proof that Blumaka is changing how athletes train, compete, and recover.
Here’s the highlight reel.
Day 1: Fast Performance — Where the pros go to get better
We kicked off the trip inside one of Denver’s most respected training hubs: Fast Performance. This is where the Colorado Mammoth lacrosse team grinds. Where pro baseball players sharpen their edge. Where elite soccer athletes rebuild and push past limits.
Will and Warren from the Mammoth set the tone immediately. They talked about Blumaka the way athletes talk about something they feel — not just something they wear. More connection to the ground. More confidence when pushing off. More trust in their feet when the game demands something explosive.
JC and Joel, who run FAST Performance, echoed that sentiment. They see hundreds of high-level athletes every year, and their take was simple: when an athlete finds something that helps them move better, they don’t go back.
Day 2: Pivotal Performance — A lineup of world-class athletes
Tuesday was the kind of day content teams dream about.
Patrick Nolan, one of the most trusted trainers in Denver, opened his doors and gave us the entire morning. In that time, we sat down with some of the best lacrosse players on earth:
• Sam Geiersbach, widely considered the best women’s lacrosse player alive
• Jack Hannah, pro lacrosse standout
• Trevor Baptiste, the greatest face-off specialist of all time
Every interview hit hard. These athletes talked about explosiveness, consistency, ground feel, and recovery like they were explaining the missing puzzle piece they’d been looking for. Trevor’s insight on the Carbon Elite insole was especially powerful for our turf-toe protection story.
Then came the sport diversity we wanted. At Relish Pickleball, owner Kelly dropped gem after gem about the demands of lateral movement and how Blumaka helps players stay controlled instead of sliding inside their shoes.
From there, we moved to the University of Denver to interview coaches who not only teach the game, but still play professionally. Their focus was team-wide consistency. The way Blumaka gives every player the same dependable feel, day after day.
We closed the day filming with Jack Hannah again at the Lacrosse Den — on-field, in-gym, and behind the scenes. More explosive starts. More stops. More storytelling.
The Biggest Insight: Consistency Is a Superpower
Across every interview, from lacrosse stars to pickleball players to elite trainers, one theme kept coming up: consistency.
Athletes don’t want guesswork under their feet. They want to know exactly how their shoes will respond every time they cut, pivot, or explode forward. That’s where Blumaka shines.
They talked about:
• A reliable, grounded feel
• Confidence when pushing their limits
• Cushioning that stays the same session after session
• Recovery that lets them show up at 100 percent more often
High performance isn’t about one big moment. It’s about removing the variables that get in the way.
