iGO Sponsored Athletes

iGO sponsor a number of elite athletes in canoeing, rugby and boxing. Below you can find out more about how iGO helped them compete at the highest level in their sport. 

Canoeing

Adam Burgess GBR "I would definitely never go back to wearing contact lenses in the day, the idea of it just seems obsolete now, not only for my sport, but for everything else as well."

 

 

Rugby

Richard Beck - Leeds Carnegie RFC "It is unusual to watch any rugby game without seeing at least one player lose a contact lens. You then have the usual delay of the player trying to clean his hands on the pitch and trying to get the lens back in while the physio holds a tiny mirror. Unfortunately that used to be me, until I found out about iGO".

 

 

 

Jo McGilchrist - Wasps RFC and England International. "I am now able to play a full rugby match knowing that my vision is 100% and not worrying that a lens might come out during a tackle or scrum." 

 

 

Ian Taplin - London Wasps RFC Strength and Conditioning Coach. "Not wearing contcat lenses during the day mean my eyes are much healthier, less dry and I can see a lot better. I would recommend them to anyone who has an active lifestyle or who generally doesn't want to be constarined by wearing glasses. You just put your lenses in at night take them out the next morning then crack on with the rest of your day"

 

 

Boxing

Akaash Bhatia - Featherweight Boxer. "I can now spar and train and do all the things I need to do in the comfort of knowing I can see properly. It makes such a difference in the ring especially on fight night. iGO overnight vision correction will help me on the path to hopefully be fighting for the British title - it's absolutely brilliant for me.
