Win From Within
Lately I have been feeling very inspired when I see a Gatorade commercials. These commercials are very inspirational because one can see all the hard working athletes drinking Gatorade during or after their workout. The commercial “One More” is an excellent example of this because you see the football players sweating profusely and drinking Gatorade to replenish the liquids that they have lost. Sweat comes with hard work and people need to be inspired to work that hard. Gatorade shows that it inspires its consumers to drink it and work hard. When I see a Gatorade commercial I want to buy a Gatorade and go to the gym and work out. I see that the athletes in the commercial are very successful and Gatorade makes it seem that they are successful because they drink Gatorade. The practice in the commercial takes place in the morning. Not too many teenagers are motivated to get up early and work out. Gatorade inspires them to do so and make themselves better. The players are very excited right before the game and Gatorade proves that it inspires and motivates players to do their best. I get very inspired and pumped up just watching this commercial. It makes me want to drink this sports drink and go play some football.
The commercials that have the greatest impact on the people watching it are the non-fiction commercials. A great example of this is Michael Jordan drinking Gatorade during the NBA Finals. He had flu like symptoms but he still played an amazing game. The commercial shows him suffering and showing him completely drained of energy and exhausted. Michael Jordan drinks Gatorade and plays a game of his life. Gatorade gives him the power and energy to play the game. This commercial is inspiring because Michael Jordan, the best basketball player of all time, is exhausted with the flu and plays amazing to lead his game to victory. Gatorade shows some of the biggest athletes using its products. This becomes very inspirational to many younger athletes because they all want to be the best like Michael Jordan. If he is drinking Gatorade, little kids will want to drink Gatorade also to be like Michael Jordan
The most inspirational commercials that Gatorade has are the ones with two big stars competing in their sleep. It just shows that Gatorade is not only a drink but a tool for motivation to beat your opponent. In this commercial involving two of the most recognizable professional basketball players in today's world. One is Dwayne Wades and the other is Kevin Durant. Dwayne Wade is playing basketball against Kevin Durant. Dwayne Wade dribbles down the court and dunks over Durant. Kevin wakes up from a dream and is motivated to work even harder so he can switch who did what. The next scene of the commercial is Kevin Durant dunking over Wade. Then Wade wakes up from a dream and realizes he must work even harder so this doesn’t happen to him in real life. Gatorade shows that even pro athletes worry about losing and that they must work incredibly hard to beat their opponent. Drinking Gatorade shows that the best of the best athletes use/consume it to become the best. Many people are inspired by this because if the best athletes use their product then they want to use that product to become like them.
Another very inspirational commercial put out by Gatorade is the one where all-pro NFL linebacker, Ray Lewis, is drinking it at the end of the scene and is very successful in the game that he was currently playing. It shows all the football tools necessary to be successful to win. It shows an old sign to the entrance of a football field, some rotten wooden bleachers, a decrepit basketball hoop, an old scoreboard, a rusted out field goal post, torn up field, a beat up blocking sled, a weight room showing a bench press machine. Then it asks “Is it in you?” This commercial shows that you do not have to have the best equipment to be the best and drink the best drink in the game.
Gatorade make people dig deep and give the energy to take care of the small things and win, win from within. Is it in you? Can you win from within?
