Aitana Bonmatí, commented,

“People remember the ninety minutes. They remember the trophies, the goals and the moments that define a career. What they don’t always remember is everything that comes before them. Every training session. Every recovery session. Every choice you make to be ready for the next challenge. I call it invisible training and that is what has shaped me as a player. That is what has allowed me to keep improving. Joining Team Gatorade feels natural because we share the same belief – that there are no shortcuts. Only preparation. Only consistency. That is the story of my career.”

Eugene Willemsen, CEO, International Beverages, PepsiCo, added,

“The best athletes make the extraordinary look effortless. What people don’t always see is the discipline, preparation and consistency behind every performance. Aitana has set the standard in world football not only through her talent, but through her relentless commitment to improving every day. That’s why she’s such a natural fit for Team Gatorade. Through the Gatorade Sports Science Institute, we’ve spent decades helping athletes better understand how science-backed hydration can support performance, training and recovery. We’re proud to welcome Aitana to Team Gatorade as we continue championing the preparation, sports science and mindset that help athletes perform at their best when it matters most.”
