Fluid Athlete Highlight: Professional Golf Star Sofie Andersson

David Brown - Thursday, March 18, 2010


Sofie Anderson loves Fluid, and we love her! Fluid was recently introduced to this wonderful woman through a close friend, and we are honored to be working with her this season and helping her achieve one of the coveted LPGA Tour slots!

Please check out the recent article Sophie wrote for the Duramed Futures Tour website HERE!

This is a short sample of the article, and some of the great things she said about Fluid!

The increased fitness aspect in the training for professional golfers is probably nothing “new” to you. I believe though that your next question is, “Why a recovery drink like FLUID for a golfer?” I will say that I was just as curious as you about this addition. I was, on the other hand, easily convinced of the positive impact it had on my recovery after a workout or a day of training on the golf course.

As important as training is, I have learned that the recovery is just as important, if not more. You can put in the hours of hard work to get stronger, more flexible and improve your stamina. You can hit so many balls on the range to build new muscle memory with improved technique. Spend the morning at the gym, and then follow up with an afternoon on the golf course, and I can promise you that you will get tired. Your muscles get fatigued and need to be replenished and restored for you to be able to carry out the same schedule day after day, week after week. Adding FLUID to my daily workout and training routine not only improved my immediate muscle recovery, it also helped me stay better energized and alert for my afternoon session of golf practice.

Cheers!

Fluid Athlete Highlight: James Walsh

David Brown - Friday, February 26, 2010
I grew up playing baseball and then spent years surfing, bodyboarding, snowboarding, and skating.  In 2005 I was ready for a change and another challenge.  So I signed up for the Carlsbad Half Marathon in January of 2006.  After that I jumped headfirst in to triathlon and the fell in love with offroad racing and Xterra.
For 3 years I focused on Xterra and in 2008 was the Southwest Regional Champion and won the Xterra World Championship in the 30-34 age group in Maui.  Worlds in Maui was my last triathlon.  I was pretty burned and out and very content with my results.  I wanted a break and a new challenge.
In 2009 I decided to focus on just running and riding... and the just riding by mid summer.  I ended the 2009 season with some good results in mountain bike racing and then found a new addiction: cyclocross. I ended up with the cat 3/4 men division of the Souther California Prestige Series of Cyclocross... very unexpected.
In 2010 I will be focusing 100% on the bike.  The plan is to focus on the Socal MTB State Series, Kenda/US MTB Cup Series, Rim Nordic Series, some endurance mountain bike races and then cyclocross in the fall.
