I know this is an old post, but I've just come across it as I was looking for something else.  It strikes me that this could be a great rehabilitation tool for all manner of people, not just football stars.  I follow Real Madrid and am familiar with the players sited in the article, along with the other European football teams that have thought about using this "Secret Weapon".  Goodness knows Crystal Palace needs one; Real, not so much.
