If your teenager has a passion for sports, you naturally want to do everything you can to nurture and encourage their interest and help them with their sporting success. So when a Christmas, birthday, or other special event comes around, you might think this is the perfect opportunity to get a genuinely relevant present to them and what they like to do. However, with such a wide range of sports-related equipment and accessories on the market, it can often be overwhelming for someone who doesn’t know much about that world.
What will be truly useful for your teen, not just a gimmicky add-on they may use once and never pick up again? That is the tricky question. Here you can find a short list of exciting and unusual sports-related present ideas to make your teen smile.
Go-Pros
Go-Pro cameras have been a staple equipment in the sporting industry for the past few years. For the teen inclined to more “extreme” sports- think snowboarding or longboarding- there is no more perfect item to own than a Go-Pro. The Go-Pro camera can be affixed sturdily to the sportsperson, usually atop the helmet, and a steadied video clip can be recorded from there. This provides a great deal of fun in recording video as you’re going about your sport, watching back as you pull off a great trick (or perhaps having a bit of a laugh as you don’t quite manage it), but it also has some efficient uses.
It’s been noted that the Go-Pro can provide a perspective on the sportsperson that could not usually be obtained, enabling them to view which parts of their technique they should be working on in a way they never really could without the help of this little technological marvel. A Go-Pro is undoubtedly a solid choice for any teen interested in sport and shouldn’t disappoint whatever their chosen discipline.
Stunt Scooters
For the teen who’s a keen skater or BMXer, why not consider a stunt scooter as a present? Rapidly gaining popularity in recent times, the style of stunt scootering is a mix of these two sports while providing something a little different than either. However, if they’ve already got a stunt scooter, gifting their new wheels, deck, or better bars can make them greatly happy. Just make sure they have the best skateboarding helmet, and other protective gear to protect themselves while indulging in their favorite sport.
Speakers
It’s rare that you”ll find someone who isn’t passionate about their music, so looking to combine this with their love of sport is likely to be a solid choice when scouring for a good present. Consider a speaker such as the Ecox BT, which is built specifically to handle the hardships of outdoor use. Completely waterproof and with an impressive range, this kind of speaker will suit any teen interested in camping, rock climbing, or any other activity that sees them out of the house for extended periods.
