WINDHAM, NH – July 2, 2025 – SQAIRZ is proud to announce that Chad Miller, renowned coach with an extensive background in biomechanics and orthopedis, and SQAIRZ representative, will serve as the keynote speaker at the High School Baseball National Championship banquet. The keynote, titled “The Shape of Innovation: Why Equipment Matters More Than Ever,” will be delivered Wednesday evening at 6:30 PM in the HSB-NCS banquet hall.
This special invitation to speak comes as part of SQAIRZ’s ongoing commitment to reshaping performance from the ground up and its role as the Official Footwear Partner of the event.
Miller, widely recognized for his groundbreaking work in baseball biomechanics and athlete development, will dive into how equipment—specifically footwear—can be a catalyst for performance breakthroughs. His message will spotlight the connection between gear and athletic output, offering attendees a behind-the-scenes look at how innovation in design can unlock new levels of speed, power, and efficiency.
“Chad’s been on the front lines of player development for years, helping athletes rethink their mechanics, their training, and even their gear,” said Bob Winskowicz, Founder & CEO of SQAIRZ. “Having him speak on our behalf at this event is a huge honor—and a powerful way to reinforce what we believe at SQAIRZ: that when your foundation is right, everything else follows.”
SQAIRZ performance shoes, including the GFP™ baseball line worn at this week’s championship, were selected based on proven performance data. Independent testing showed average increases of 2.6 MPH in throwing velocity and 2.0 MPH in exit velocity when players wore SQAIRZ—results made possible by innovations like the patented roomier toe box and Smart Traction™ outsole.
“I’ve tested over 10,000 players and watched more than 100,000 swings in SQAIRZ, and I’ve seen the difference firsthand,” said Miller. “Players move more efficiently which results in more power in hitting and more velocity when throwing. When you’ve got the right cleat, you actually play better.”
This keynote further cements SQAIRZ’s position at the intersection of science, sport, and innovation, and underscores the company’s mission to give athletes every advantage possible through better footwear.
SQAIRZ GFP™ baseball & softball cleats are available now in molded, metal, and turf, and come in sizes for men, women, and youth athletes. The lineup features a range of bold colorways—including the brand new Carolina Blue. Players, parents, and coaches can shop the full collection at sqairz.com and online at Dick’s Sporting Goods.
