When I was young, I participated in a variety of sports: from swimming to soccer and gymnastics toรย softball. I think I was even a baton twirler for awhile there, too. I loved being a part of a team and enjoyed being active. I never thought of myself as a young athlete because, in my opinion, I wasn’tรย particularly great at any of these sports, but I kept going because it was fun and my parents supported me.
Now that I’m a parent with a daughter of my own in sports, I can definitively say that I was in fact a young athlete, and I’m encouraging my daughter to think of herself as one, too. Even if she’s doing sports “just for fun”, she’s setting and achieving goals for herself. As her mom, I’m supporting her in every way possible so that she can reach her full potential both on and off the field.

There is potential in every young athlete. Moms, dads & coaches fuel their athleteรขโฌโขs potential by making sure they have everything needed to play their best รขโฌโ whether thatรขโฌโขs pregame meals, driving the carpool, or making sure the team is hydrated with sports drinks like POWERADE.รย It’s the parents that carry the team.
Our young athletes have the potential to go on to do BIG things … and it all starts with a dream!รย At the end of the day, we’re all รขโฌลjust a kidรขโฌย from somewhere.
POWERADE believes that with the right motivation our “everyday” young athletes can realize their potential and one day be the athletes that they look up to. Sports have a major impact on our communities. Whether it is t-ball or the pros, every athlete in every league has a story waiting to be told.

POWERADE is one of my daughter’s favorite beverages when she’s active.
