In addition to providing its better-for-you sports drinks to athletes at the practices and games, ASPIRE sports drinks are also being integrated into the American Family Insurance Selection Tour and other elements of the Under Armour All-America Game platform that are year-around, including marketing campaigns, social media initiatives, in-store promotions and grass roots activations.

“We are focused on providing the most beneficial experience possible for all of the student-athletes that participate in the Under Armour All-America Football Game every year,” said Drew Russell, Vice President of Sports Properties at Intersport. “ASPIRE sports drinks provide a great-tasting product that is also a good choice for the health and performance of our athletes with less sugar, calories and none of the artificial ingredients found in other sports drinks.”

Since 2008, the nation’s elite high school football players have been selected by ESPN Recruiting to participate in the Under Armour All-America Football Game. NFL Pro Bowlers like Julio Jones and A.J. Green competed in the inaugural game. Since then, numerous top NFL Draft selections including Jadeveon Clowney and Jameis Winston have participated in the event. The ninth annual Under Armour All-America Football Game will once again feature more than 90 of the nation’s best senior high school football players on January 2, 2016 in front of a national audience live on ESPN2.

This new partnership furthers ASPIRE’s leadership position in providing better-for-you sports drinks to all athletes from youth to adult, amateur to elite. ASPIRE Beverage Company was founded in 2012 by two Minnesota hockey dads that couldn’t find a healthy sports drink for their active families – so they created one. Their sports drinks have been very positively received by consumers and retailers alike, prompting the company to expand nationally from its base in the Midwest. ASPIRE sports drinks are currently sold in select markets at major grocery chains including Target, Costco, Whole Foods, Safeway, Hy-Vee and H-E-B. The products are also sold in schools nationwide and available online at Amazon.com.
