My twins boys originally used this as a recovery drink from their brutal wrestling training sessions and post weigh ins. This drink is everything it is described. We have since used it for soccer training in the hot weather, the brutal collegiate level conditioning training. Again, it does not disappoint. Way better than Liquid IV that is all sugar, better than Gatorade... as a matter of fact, we have not come across anything close to it. We recommend it to friends/teammates not just in wrestling but other athletes that want the best recovery drink.
