How Gatorade, the official electrolyte drink of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023, becomes a part of athletes’ winning legacy
Dwight
Ramos has powered through rigorous training sessions and tune up games against
select teams from Europe, as well as the Ukraine U-21 team in Estonia and
Lithuania.
This
Gilas Pilipinas key player refuses to be slowed down by injury — and a big part
of injury prevention is proper exercise and hydration. By fueling up and
replenishing electrolytes lost during games and practice, Ramos doesn’t miss
out on any session in between flights from Manila to China for tune up games.
Now
in the final stages of Gilas’ prep behind closed doors, Ramos can go the extra
mile with Gatorade, the official electrolyte partner of the FIBA Basketball
World Cup 2023.
Staying
hydrated is the key to longevity - proven quite a number of times by another
key player for Gilas and resident import of Barangay Ginebra - Justin Brownlee
- who had to learn this lesson the hard way.
Amidst
uncomfortable playing conditions in the Cambodia Southeast Asian Games earlier
this year, Brownlee battled with cramps and had to miss a crucial part of the
match due to fluid loss.
“His
legs were cramping up due to the heat and exhaustion,” said Gilas Pilipinas coach
Chot Reyes when the Philippines lost 68-79 to host team Cambodia in a match
played under 41-degree weather.
However,
the six-time PBA champion bounced back stronger and more determined than ever
to lead Gilas in their redemption tour, bringing the SEA Games gold medal
within reach.
After
all, in every 40-minute, high stakes game, players need to give their all while
battling fatigue and exhaustion. That’s why Gatorade, the official electrolyte
drink of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023, plays a valuable role in the
biggest basketball stage.
Players
need to keep rehydrating with the necessary fluids and replacing lost
electrolytes to keep them playing longer and the Gatorade formula has been
proven to do just that by scientists, nutritionists, and world class athletes
for more than 50 years.
With
qualifying teams all over the world coming to the Philippines, the tournament
can expect the world’s number 1 sports drink to keep world class players fueled
up for every match.
To
date, other countries have completed their lineup, while the Gilas Pilipinas
coaching staff will finalize the final national roster after a round of
friendly games with other participating countries.
Among
those expected to play are Dallas Mavericks’ Luka Doncic (Slovenia), Denver
Nuggets’ Jamal Murray (Canada), Oklahoma City Thunder’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
(Canada), Utah Jazz's Lauri Markkanen (Finland), Chicago Bulls' Nikola Vucevic
(Montenegro) and Gatorade’s own ambassador from the Minnesota Timberwolves,
Karl Anthony Towns (Dominican Republic).
Representing
the Philippines, Utah Jazz’s Jordan Clarkson will don the Gilas blue jersey,
rallying the country’s best athletes towards victory
With
these basketball superstars on the stage, Gatorade is sure to make history one
bottle and one game at a time.
