The Gatorade Fieldhouse is all about connecting, learning, and growing together, so don’t be shy—jump in and introduce yourself. We’re excited to meet you and grow our network! New members, we’d love to hear from you! Reply below and let us know: What's your all-time favorite Gatorade flavor? No questions asked, you get to work with one athlete for a season. Who do you choose? We can’t wait to hear from you! Hi Everyone! My name is Morgan and I have been an athletic trainer for coming up on 2 years. I work in the division 3 setting with football and men's volleyball! I am looking forward to engaging and interacting with all of you! It has been so fun reading all of your introductions as well! My all time favorite Gatorade flavor has to be the OG Yellow. You can't go wrong there. If I had to pick one athlete to work with for a year I would pick one of the Kelce brothers. They are both so funny and seem like great men to be around!

I’ll send Conference the Gatorade new program works really well for what I’m trying to achieve

Good Morning All, Thank you to everyone who was able to make it yesterday to my presentation at this year's 2025 CATS Spring Symposium!  Here is the link to our notes from yesterday's learning session. Would love to keep the ball rolling and hear from you all on your insights and experiences to keep growing together!

Check out the Gatorade Booth for hydration and product samples! Try the new hydration boosters!

Excited to be here! It’s my first conference.

Carol, Is stretch lab paying you more than AT work? In upstate NY, that was the case, which I found appalling

RFI REQUESTED 🙏 ⚡ ️ I really can’t wait to learn more about it. Have a stellar night !

Good Afternoon All! I'm excited to present at next week's CATS Spring Symposium to discuss collaboration amongst different disciplines in health and performance towards optimizing athlete performance. What are some ways that you have seen this approach benefit your current practices?

Hi everyone, I’m reaching out to spark a conversation around something I know many of us are tackling in our day-to-day work: how to increase and measure compliance in athletes who are prescribed vitamin or mineral supplements —especially iron, vitamin D, and magnesium. In my experience, compliance can really vary based on the athlete’s habits and motivation. Some things that have helped improve consistency in my settings include: Pairing supplements with existing routines (e.g., placing supplements next to their toothbrush or pairing them with their pre-fuel, refuel or bedtime snack). Using calendar reminder systems Visual tracking tools in their planners. Frequent check-ins with clear education on why it matters , with sport-specific context if possible. That said, measuring compliance reliably is still tough. Self-reports aren’t always accurate, and bloodwork isn’t always timely or accessible. How are you approaching this? Are you doing anything innovative to track or motivate compliance (tech-based, incentive-driven, coach-supported, etc.)? Is anything working long-term —not just for a week or two? Also— mark your calendars! If you’re attending ASPDA's Gatorade Sports Science Institute Pre-Conference next Wednesday , all of the sessions relate to this conversation: Session 1: Magnesium and Exercise Performance – Stella Volpe, PhD, RD Session 2: Shedding Light on Vitamin D – Enette Larson-Meyer, PhD, RD, CSSD, FACSM Session 3: Iron Deficiency in Athletes – Alannah McKay, PhD Session 4: Research Translation – Matt Pahnke, PhD, GSSI Would love to hear from you: What strategies have worked for you to increase supplement compliance? Any creative ways you’re tracking compliance or the impact the supplementation is having (through bloodwork or something else)? Are you attending the GSSI Pre-Con? Which sessions are you most excited about? Looking forward to learning from this group!
