Could Jessica Alba be the star footbag needs to boost the profile? In short, probably not, but she’s got an office where a key feature is an area to have a kick.
\n“I think the office is definitely a fun place for kids,” says Jessica Alba. “When you come, you can play hacky sack, or cornhole outside. My kids always want to play, and we have shuffleboard and hammocks, and we have a lactation room for new moms and refrigerators that’s a really calm beautiful space. I had a four-month-old when I started the company, so I know how difficult it is going to work for new moms.”

\nOf the millions of kids who have gathered in millions of circles
\nto kick around all those little beanbags, virtually none know
\nabout Kenny Shults. They should. Although Shults didn’t invent
\nthe sport of footbag–commonly known by the trademark name Hacky
\nSack–he is responsible, more than anyone else, for sparking its
\ninternational popularity. Shults is the world’s first and only
\nHacky Sack prodigy.
“I’m starting to feel ancient,” he said as he surveyed the
\ndreadlocks and tie-dyes and body piercings on the newcomers who
\nhad assembled to compete in the 17th annual World Footbag
\nChampionships, held in August in Montreal. “Footbag years, you
\nknow, are like dog years.”
Though Shults is all of 30 in human years, his hair–cut Wall
\nStreet conservative–is starting to thin, and his wire-framed
\neyeglasses are distinctly unhip. Also, he lacks the cocksure
\ndemeanor of a dominant athlete. Shults is tall and lanky, 6’1″
\nand 165 pounds, and he moves about with the uncertainty of an
\nadolescent who has just experienced a growth spurt. He tucks his
\nT-shirt into his shorts. He is polite almost to a fault. And
\nbecause of his job as the marketing director of a software
\ncompany in Clackamas, Ore., just outside his hometown of
\nPortland, he had little time to practice for the championships.
