Book: FIRST IN THIRST: How Gatorade Turned the Science of Sweat into a Cultural Phenomenon


Audioblog Abstract:
  • Gatorade’s dominance is a direct result of its purpose-driven ways to enhance an athlete’s performance.
  • Gatorade can be considered sports first scientific supplement to improve an athlete’s performance as evidence by the gushing comments from pro athletes and sports trainers.
  • The aspirational appeal of Gatorade can be traced to weekend warrior athletes wanting to emulate the sports heroes they see drinking Gatorade on the sidelines at sporting events.
  • Part of Gatorade’s business success has come from the lessons learned from failed projects like Gatorade Light which subsequently resulted in the development of Propel fitness water.
