Roller Shoes Are Serious Threat

There are several reasons why AGI should consider Mercury Athletic as an appropriate target for acquisition. First, acquiring Mercury could improve both companies financially. Acquiring Mercury would double AGI’s revenue. Although Mercury’s financial performance has been disappointing, they experienced top line growth of 20% in 2006. Unfortunately, their profitability has been disappointing due to price concessions to big box retailers and an unsuccessful women’s line. Mercury’s (and ultimately AGI’s) profitability could be improved by the synergies of the two companies merging. Synergies within supply chain, operations, research and development, and advertising should all improve Mercury’s EBITDA.

The boots were made of leather and the blades were of metal. They would have to buy new skates every time the blades got damaged. It was only in the 1970’s that they developed a skate that let you take the blade out and replace it with another. The players and manufactures didn’t see it necessary for them to protect the blade until someone got nicked in the leg by the blade of a skate. The skates today are made with a memory foam that conforms to your foot over time, resulting in the "perfect" fit. This foam reforms into the shape of your foot when it has become heated and soft for a customized fit. Similar to breaking in a baseball glove, the "baking" process makes the skate pliable to give players a more comfortable fit quicker and without the discomfort of blisters and pressure points.

The already present fear intensify when the child get injured in real. Due to this fear the children try to avoid playing and sometimes quit altogether. The amount of pressure demanded by these sports can affect a child's body in a negative way. Especially the children who are younger than 14 years of age are more worried about ‘self-preservation’ than adults. The high level of physical exertion demand by the coaches and anyone not meeting up to the standards are not allowed to be the part of the team during the game.

In the article “Children Need to Play, Not Compete”, the author, Jessica Statsky emphasizes the need to prevent the involvement of children between that age of six and twelve in organized and highly competitive sport activities. Statsky contends that such sport activities have long-term deleterious physical ramifications for children in this age bracket. In particular, Statsky points out that competing to win has greatly been emphasized over having fun and enjoyment in organized sports. In that regard, Statsky argues that children expose themselves to injury risks as they push themselves excessively hard for fear of failure.

“Children need to play, not compete” explains Statsky’s multi-layered assessment of competitive sports. The author starts by putting forth the idea that competitive sports and their “adult standards” have a highly negative impact on the healthy growth of the children. Moreover, the pressure of winning put by the parents and coaches on the little shoulders might also make them anxious and burdened.

She further admits that the competitive sports can benefit the children in the adult life but losing in a competition makes them physically and mentally unhealthy. The author is also of the view that the sports that these
