Go Mate Partners with International Football Legend and Iconic Esports Organization to Launch Workout Plan For Gamers
Go Mate have announced that they’ve teamed up with Argentina and Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero and esports world champions Astralis – to release a training programme like no other.
Including a breakdown of weekly work-out routines, the training programme is designed to deliver mind and body fitness that will encourage gamers to take their play to the next level.
With a step-by-step guide of the best cardio, muscle conditioning and mental agility training, the program is built around the way in which elite athletes train for the greatest stage – whether that be in competitive physical sport, or within the esports space. This programme has been created to encourage competitive gamers to not only become a better all-round athlete, but also to help reduce the risk of injury and strengthen mental capability.
Go Mate Co-Founder Sergio Aguero said: “We are extremely pleased to have curated a high-level workout regime that enables esports- and sports fans to further better their health. We want to encourage a healthy lifestyle, which is the core of our product offering at Go Mate. What we use to power our energy must positively enhance us physically and mentally, too.”
Kasper Hvidt, Director of Sports, Astralis said: “We take our training very seriously, and we’ve found that proper workout programs and nutritional planning have taken us to the next level. As competitive gaming continues to grow, it has never been more difficult to reach the top – that’s why we are excited to share this plan that combines physical training with mental training. To reach the elite levels in our sport, strains on the body and mind grow, and a balanced workout and healthy habits will help players truly excel.”
Go Mate is aiming to challenge the negative perceptions associated with overconsumption of energy drinks – only using ingredients that promote mind clarity, wellbeing, and a more balanced approach to energy.
Go Mate is a brand that is built for gamers by gamers, with drinks designed around delivering sustained energy, mental focus, balance and refreshment for players who want to up their game. While Go Mate’s “Awake” can deliver sustained performance, increased focus, and heightened mental agility, “Relax” gives gamers the opportunity to have a healthy power-down, helping them to recharge, unwind and rebalance.
