    2. Why is Gatorade important for soccer athletes? 7 out of 10 athletes typically come to practice or competition dehydrated. Sports drinks such as Gatorade were formulated to help replace those fluids and electrolytes, especially salts. Research shows that sweat losses during a soccer match can be as great as three quarts or more when temperature and/or humidity are especially high.1 Hydration can have a tremendous impact on performance, especially late in the game – when 30 percent of total goals are typically scored.2 Impaired performance, especially during the second half of a soccer match, is primarily related to fatigue, which is associated with dehydration. Gatorade provides athletes the water, energy and electrolytes to replace what has been lost during practice and competition.
