After a historic stroll down memory lane in celebration of its golden anniversary, Gatorade is all set to pave the way for greatness. The world’s favorite sports drink beefs up its roster with the official launch of its newest variant – the orange and grapefruit flavor based White Lightning.
With the new variant comes a powerhouse line-up of ambassadors who are among the top local athletes of this generation—UAAP volleyball superstars Alyssa Valdez from the Ateneo Lady Eagles and Mika Reyes from the De La Salle Lady Spikers together with basketball hotshots Chris Banchero of the Alaska Aces and Jeron Teng of the De La Salle Green Archers.
“Coming from our 50th anniversary wherein we celebrated Gatorade’s legacy of fueling local and international sports’ greatest moments, we now want to focus on empowering a new breed of athletes and game changers,” Pepsi co Philippines Marketing Manager for Hydration Tony Atayde said. “Alyssa, Mika, Chris and Jeron are top athletes who know the value of working hard to stay in peak form and understand that games aren’t won on the court but in the gym and practice venues. We’re excited to see them inspire more people to pursue active lifestyles and understand the value of proper hydration.”
To officially launch its ambassadors as well as its newest flavor, Gatorade help a fitness event at the Hoops Center with different members of the media a few weeks ago. To guide us were coaches Alyssa, Mika and Chris. Participants were divided into 3 groups and battled out for the most number of reps in the given time. Workouts performed were KB swings, wall balls, battle ropes, burpees and the ladder. Pretty basic workouts but not that easy if you’re not used to hitting the gym.
Team Mika bagged the gold in this year’s battle! I sort of wish there’d be another one so that everyone can redeem themselves. (heehee)
Besides these exciting news, another thing we can look forward to is Gatorade first ever run! Yep, you heard that right, the GATORADE run! We’re so used to seeing Gatorade on the sidelines, sponsoring various runs and providing proper hydration for us as we work hard to finish our respected categories, but not this time. This time, they’re supporting us from start to finish!
