Discover Chris Sports SM Dasmarinas: Your Ultimate Guide to Sports Equipment Shopping
Walking into Chris Sports SM Dasmarinas feels like stepping into an athlete's paradise. I've been shopping here for years, and what keeps me coming back isn't just the impressive selection - it's how the store understands that winning in sports often comes down to those crucial second chances. You know, that moment when a rebound turns into a game-changing play. This reminds me of that incredible UAAP game where Rizal dominated the boards 48-40, then converted that advantage into a staggering 26-5 edge in second chance points. That's exactly what quality sports equipment does - it gives you those extra opportunities to score.
The basketball section alone demonstrates this principle beautifully. I always spend extra time testing their shooting sleeves and high-grip basketballs because I've found that the right gear can improve my rebound control by what feels like 30-40%. Last month, I watched a young player trying out different shoes in the store, and the difference in his vertical jump between regular sneakers and proper basketball shoes was visibly noticeable - probably about 4-5 inches higher with the right footwear. That kind of performance boost matters when you're fighting for rebounds under the basket.
What many shoppers don't realize is how interconnected different sports equipment can be. The same core principles that apply to basketball - grip, stability, and control - translate perfectly to badminton rackets or running shoes. I typically recommend that first-time visitors start with footwear because improper shoes can undermine everything else. My personal preference leans toward brands that prioritize durability because nothing ruins a game faster than equipment failure at a crucial moment. I've seen too many players lose their edge because they prioritized style over substance.
The store's layout actually mirrors how sports flow - with protective gear leading into performance sections, then recovery equipment. It's a thoughtful progression that many customers appreciate without even realizing why. I particularly appreciate how the staff understands these connections. Last week, I overheard a salesperson explaining to a customer that choosing the right volleyball knee pads could potentially reduce impact by up to 60% compared to generic alternatives. That's the kind of insight that transforms shopping from a chore into a strategic session.
Inventory management here deserves special mention. Unlike some sporting goods stores that struggle with stock consistency, Chris Sports maintains what I'd estimate as 85-90% availability on core products year-round. During peak season, they typically increase their basketball inventory by about 40% to meet demand. This reliability matters because when you find equipment that works, you want to be able to replace it with the exact same model. I've developed strong preferences for specific brands over the years - particularly those that maintain consistent manufacturing standards rather than constantly changing designs.
Ultimately, shopping at Chris Sports becomes more than just acquiring equipment - it's about understanding how quality gear contributes to those pivotal moments in sports. Just like Rizal's 26-5 second chance point domination started with controlling the boards, your personal sporting achievements often begin with choosing the right equipment. The next time you're preparing for a game, remember that having the proper gear might just give you those extra 5-10% improvements that separate good performances from great ones. That's why I keep returning - because every visit feels like an opportunity to upgrade not just my equipment, but my entire approach to the sports I love.
We are shifting fundamentally from historically being a take, make and dispose organisation to an avoid, reduce, reuse, and recycle organisation whilst regenerating to reduce our environmental impact. We see significant potential in this space for our operations and for our industry, not only to reduce waste and improve resource use efficiency, but to transform our view of the finite resources in our care.
Looking to the Future
By 2022, we will establish a pilot for circularity at our Goonoo feedlot that builds on our current initiatives in water, manure and local sourcing. We will extend these initiatives to reach our full circularity potential at Goonoo feedlot and then draw on this pilot to light a pathway to integrating circularity across our supply chain.
The quality of our product and ongoing health of our business is intrinsically linked to healthy and functioning ecosystems. We recognise our potential to play our part in reversing the decline in biodiversity, building soil health and protecting key ecosystems in our care. This theme extends on the core initiatives and practices already embedded in our business including our sustainable stocking strategy and our long-standing best practice Rangelands Management program, to a more a holistic approach to our landscape.
We are the custodians of a significant natural asset that extends across 6.4 million hectares in some of the most remote parts of Australia. Building a strong foundation of condition assessment will be fundamental to mapping out a successful pathway to improving the health of the landscape and to drive growth in the value of our Natural Capital.
Our Commitment
We will work with Accounting for Nature to develop a scientifically robust and certifiable framework to measure and report on the condition of natural capital, including biodiversity, across AACo’s assets by 2023. We will apply that framework to baseline priority assets by 2024.
Looking to the Future
By 2030 we will improve landscape and soil health by increasing the percentage of our estate achieving greater than 50% persistent groundcover with regional targets of:
– Savannah and Tropics – 90% of land achieving >50% cover
– Sub-tropics – 80% of land achieving >50% perennial cover
– Grasslands – 80% of land achieving >50% cover
– Desert country – 60% of land achieving >50% cover
