Sponsor Cliff of Northcoast Podiatry said “Despite not being selected for the Australian Schoolboys Rugby Union team earlier this month in Sydney, Dan Boardman’s four games with the NSW II squad has enabled great exposure for Dan to Sydney’s Shute Shield coaches and selectors.”
Cliff went onto say “My support for Dan has been to reduce the likely hood of overuse injury by careful alignment of lower limb biomechanics specifically the feet. This is achieved mainly through analysis and examination of the athlete’s movement on our treadmill and slow motion cameras with ‘knee position in relation to his feet’ crucial in construction of ‘in shoe therapy’. This therapy takes the form of custom (casted) prescription, lightweight carbon fibre foot orthotics, partnering these with Football boots and training shoes that compliment Dan’s foot type and ‘tweaking’ any lower limb muscles shortness or weakness .”
Finally he said “I am just one of the local sponsors for Dan. The other sponsors would agree that it sits well to help a fine young local man reach his goal of developing a professional Rugby Union career in Sydney starting from next year.”
Successful campaign for Dan
