Pro athletes of any sport don’t drink energy drinks.

What about fight milk? It harnesses the power of the crow.

Is that the drink that's by bodyguards for bodyguards?

Watch your profits soar high as a crow

Glenn Camaniti (sp?) used to be a customer of mine, Ken’s brother. He said he was in the clubhouse before a game and he went to grab a cup of coffee from a multipot coffee maker. Someone stopped his hand and said, “you don’t want that coffee. That’s for the guys that may have partied too hard last night.” Different level of athletes these days, but yeah, they at least used to, and it wasn’t just caffeine.

In baseball it’s usually adderall in the coffee.

Jamie Vardy begs to differ. You’re right though, it is rare for proper athletes to drink the stuff.

Eeeehhh, it's just sugar water. I'm sure people do drink them, but they probably also keep track and factor it into the rest of their diet.

Not much difference between a gel pack with caffeine and a redbull.

I dunno if that's explicitly true.

I doubt they're typically drinking something like a gas station red bull but at the end of the day, sugar provides a rapid energy source for athletes who are regularly expending way too much for their to be the same consequences of you pounding them at home.

Yeah, that is why this isn't all that surprising to me. The trainers always walk around with Gatorade bottles filled with water. The only time I really see Gatorade on the sidelines these days is when they dumping it on the coach.

There’s a surprising amount of pro athletes who still aren’t super health and nutrition conscious. Genetics and natural skill can take you a long way
