One Happy Camper

by Kourtney DeRosa

There is a reason why this place it has the word authority in its name. They have the power to drag me in and make me spend, spend, spend! Sports Authority is my go to place for all my sporting good needs. They have yet to disappoint, and for that reason alone I will remain a loyal customer. They offer items for everyone (the runner, basketball player, baseball star, exercise fanatic, kayaker, campers) This place really does have it all.

On my most recent visit I was looking for a pair of running shoes and I needed help! The thing is, although I like to think I am a runner, you know on the occasion I yank the speed on the treadmill up to 7.0 and run for fifteen minutes or so, the truth is I know very little about running and nothing about running shoes. As the salesmen approached me I began to share my story about wanting to become a runner. I told him I was looking for a lightweight airy pair of running shoes, which were reasonably priced. He told me that I was at the right place. Turns out he is a runner and knew just how to direct me. He first helped me determine my foot type, (turns out I am flat footed/pronated) and then he helped me find the perfect pair. Throughout my journey I probably tried on at least ten pairs before I found my new loves and I was impressed at how patient the salesman was with me.

I’ve been shopping at Sports Authority for years and they have yet to fail me, in fact they typically exceed my expectations.

I highly recommend this place to anyone, who needs anything, that has to do with any sports. Or recreational activities. You are sure to leave one happy camper!
