Will Barnes

Author

Will writes for Straptor and heads up the Straptor ambassador program, one of many hats he wears across the brand. He is in his mid-twenties and grew up around sport, and these days you will find him at a local grassroots footy club, pulling on the boots most weekends. Football is the real passion, and a fair bit of what he writes comes straight off the back of it.

He has spent enough time strapping ankles in change rooms, and getting his own strapped, to know what actually holds up over four quarters and what peels off by half-time. His writing focuses on practical taping, recovery and sport-specific guidance drawn from real use, not theory. Where a piece needs clinical depth, Will works with Straptor's clinical reviewer Marcus so the advice is accurate and safe.

Running the ambassador program keeps him close to the players, trainers and clubs who use the tape week in, week out, and that shows up in the content. He writes for the people on the ground: players taping themselves, trainers working the sideline, and the volunteers keeping a club running.

Will's writing for Straptor covers strapping techniques, sport-specific taping guides, club and team purchasing, recovery, and product reviews across the range.
