People asking how we remove this tape after a game. There's a tool called a "shark" that removes it in 5 seconds. Easily found on Amazon. www.amazon.com/Cramer-Removing-Comfortable-Professional-Kinesiology/dp/B00120P9TO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1506967979&sr=8-2&keywords=tape+shark

I bought the self adhesive spatting tape. Do you need the pre wrap for that?

[@antonewilson4310]

Thanks for the post, sir. Extremely helpful. I'm not sure the average layman knows the extensive body of knowledge a Certified Athletic Trainer possesses.

If you’ve never played football you don’t know how much this saves your ankles 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@alexsalazar5161]

Yep this is used in soccer too but in little bit of tape placed in the ankle part. Tbh for me it looked like he out too much tape and that’s it’s gonna lock his foot but I’ve never done this so idk.

[@alexsalazar5161]

Someone mentioned in the comments that this is bad for your knees since the ankles have no mobility the force gets transferred upwards.

[@cashmoney2909]

damn circulation just done for

[@jaxsonm4986]

Could you do it from your pov?

[@bankrollhekk]

That’s how I spat but sheesh I use at least 1 roll for both ankles

[@jay2blunt]

Woow

[@oliverturner3172]

Coming from a rugby background. Why do physios in football like to take over the boot and not on the skin like I've always been told. From when I have had to tape on the boot, mid-game injury, it doesn't seem to work as well. Cheers

[@landryrandolph2267]

Oliver Turner it’ll still allow you to have movement in your ankle and not put tension on other things like your ACL is what ive been told

[@sykliz3842]

i do both i have bad ankles from football.

[@jasminea2222]

I know a lot of players that get spatted for the look rather than the function of the tape job

[@jay2blunt]

Wow

[@lawrencedingli8402]

Good day , hope (Aussie rules players )watch this vid ..... it’s goin to save them a lot of TPD, ! ....they only need to tape spat up their kicking leg although not toooo tight ! I little restricting is good because it reduces movement & will support the knee which is critical....The game is very fast these days .A new boot for playing a football game with ankle support has not been perfected. That allows the athlete complete freedom of movements ....... you look at a Boxers boot , a ice skaters boot . Balance is paramount .... never go unstrapped on to a ground if your playing the game at 100% ....5

[@devonthompson7325]

it’s for ankle support basically

[@onthaticeburg_ess6542]

I want this to look cool lmao

[@sleepyghostblue]

to do this you’re gonna need 1 roll per game

20 mins of tape and they loose the game without scoring once

Why tape over your boot

No recomendaría

[@ftav1008]

Good bye knees!

[@emilycrampton6070]

Explain

[@pedrosaenz8019]

@@emilycrampton6070 when the ankle has no mobility the force automatically goes the the knees and you could get seriously injured, that’s why basketball players never tie their shoes too tight because the pressure just goes straight to the knee instead of the ankle so you need some mobility

[@LebronJames-cr9rq]

Or you could just get cleat covers

[@zionjackson8214]

Lebron James cleat covers are for jv players 😭💀

[@marvingarcia8982]

And now he looks like a mummy. Too much tape, too tight. 10 minutes and you cant run anymore

This is a terrible example of spatting

[@healthandfitnessentreprene7578]

How about YOU post a video of YOU spatting a cleat otherwise shut the hell up

[@footsport1082]

non sense. Tape the ankle not the shoes

[@jukeboxhero1649]

Does the foot go numb?

[@brandentheultramangofighter]

It may feel like alot of pressure, but over time ur legs adjust to it and it'll be fine. It's not AS TIGHT as people thinks it's just to hood the shoes in place n all

No not at all

Can I borrow some pink and white tape

Does this work for baseball

[@Nick-bs1fc]

Lucas Gomez nah no one spots baseball cleats

[@ZEUS_re]

What is the purpose to spat the cleat? This was in my recommended I wanna know

[@nicklausreyer9702]

It's to give more support to the ankle so players don't roll or sprain their ankles as easily when they make aggressive cuts. You see a lot of players in the NFL do this, especially defensive backs as they often have to quickly plant their foot in reaction to a receiver's route.

[@jakobgib]

The purpose is to stabilize the ankle if for example you have an injured ankle or if your ankle is weak in general. I can tell you this really helps. (In our football games my ankle is always spatted because I do have a weak ankle)

[@jameszambrano1324]

Basically for ankles that need extra support but not enough to need a whole brace

[@brxzzy7422]

Support ankle or have swag lol

[@lancehunter9253]

Better too just tape ankle.

[@crayon_logic444]

Seems like a pain to take it off

[@trenchmaderell3037]
