All athletes have their preferred choice of hydration method. Whether it is Gatorade, water, or some fancy product, such as Recovery Water, athletes will try them all. Some athletes will even use Pedialyte, due to the electrolytes that help prevent dehydration.

The new product called Recovery Water came out a few months prior and was endorsed by Russell Wilson. This “super water” is said to help hydrate the body while repairing any damage to it at the same time. While claiming to be a miracle worker, this water costs about $70 for a pack of 30 bottles. It comes in a multitude of flavors, and consumers can sign up for monthly subscriptions of the water.

Russell Wilson tweeted, “I believe @Recovery_Water helped prevent me from getting a concussion based on a bad hit.”

Though Wilson received some criticism for this tweet, and for his ideology of recovery water, he truly believed in the healing the product provided for him in his body’s time of need.

Varsity football player, Junior Clayton Nocella, shares that the Perry football team uses water and Gatorade for their hydration before and during games. Nocella states, “Some people before games will [even] drink Pedialyte.” It varies between each individual athlete which hydration method they will use, however, Nocella states, “I think the football team would try [recovery water] if it would help their performance.”

Varsity football player, junior Neal Kallen shares that his prefered method of hydration is gatorade, “just because of the taste.” Kallen also states, “If the trainers had [recovery water], we would use it.” Both players agree that they are open to trying different methods of hydration; if it works, they will try it.

It seems as if the football team, if given the opportunity, would be open to trying the said “healing powers” of recovery water.
