Rising football stars Adam Wharton and Lenna Gunning-Williams team up with Golden Bear’s strikesphere to help young players sharpen their skills
Two of football’s brightest young talents, Crystal Palace midfielder, FA Cup winner and England internationa Adam Wharton, and Lenna Gunning-Williams, Tottenham Hotspur Women and England U23 forward, have signed as brand ambassadors to promote strikesphere, the new sports tech and outdoor brand from Golden Bear Toys.
Perfectly positioned to boost the brand to new heights, Golden Bear says the ambassadors embody strikesphere’s mission to make football training more accessible to all players and are keen to use their influence to help build engagement and confidence in the sport.
“Both are young, rising stars who’ve risen from grassroots football to playing at the very highest level. Their journey reflects the passion and dedication at the heart of our brand”
Chris Smith, Brand Manager for strikesphere, said: “Both are young, rising stars who’ve risen from grassroots football to playing at the very highest level. Their journey reflects the passion and dedication at the heart of our brand, and their influence across UK football makes them the perfect ambassadors to inspire the next generation.”
The full strikesphere product lineup is designed to support children’s ever-growing passion to be the best football player they can be. From entry-level products like the Kick Tracker and Counter Ball, which help in surpassing personal bests, to more advanced football training tools like the Soccer Dash reaction game that uses AI-powered training to enhance core dribbling skills, or the Soccer Launcher to help perfect that viral volley.
Lenna, fresh from her England U23 debut, said: “Grassroots training and academy coaching are vital, but so is kicking about in the park. I still remember using a skills trainer my dad bought me, like the strikesphere Counter Ball. All that practice in the garden helped give me belief in my abilities. The strikesphere Soccer Launcher has to be my favourite, it’s perfect for practising first touches.”
Adam’s favourite is the strikesphere Soccer Dash: “It takes me back to playing in the garden with my two older brothers, where every game was competitive and I wouldn’t stop until I came out on top,” he said. “That’s what makes it so exciting: it brings out that same determination to win.”
