Fall 5-year-old soccer is in full swing! Stella, my soccer obsessed athlete, is excited to be playing at our favorite park in Chicago with her St. Thecla school friends. I love watching Stella play soccer with Claire, Maeve, Margaret, and Shayla and it is so cool to see them grow in a sport. Her twin sister, Sophia is content to cheer from the sidelines and run around with her friends, Bryan and Malea.
At an early season game, the super nice coach passed around a clipboard for parents to sign up for snack and drinks. I didn’t give it much thought and signed up to bring snacks. At this age in sports the snacks and drinks are a big deal to the kids. We try to be healthy! A few weeks ago after the game, parents passed out snacks and drinks. Stella came running over to me holding a sports drink and declared, “Mom! They don’t know about BodyArmor! They need to try our sports drink! It’s good for you!” I smiled at my fierce soccer player and passionate BodyArmor champion. She said we needed to bring BodyArmor to our next game.
A few days later Stella told me we needed to go to Jewel-Osco to get BodyArmor for the team. I gently tried to explain that we had signed up to bring snacks. Stella was shocked and dismayed and I couldn't help but smile at my passionate five-year-old influencer.
Last spring, I wrote about the awesome Jewel-Osco monopoly game on our Messy Mommies blog. From that post, BodyArmor connected with us and encouraged us to try their products. We tried the natural sports drink and loved it. I mentioned the awesome drink in a soccer blog post this spring. Since then we’ve interacted with BodyArmor on social media and have learned a lot more about the BodyArmor drink and company. We are obsessed with BodyArmor and are super fans!
Stella is a pint-sized champion for BodyArmor. This summer she told countless family members and friends to try BodyArmor. If she saw someone else with a different sports drink she would pipe up that they should really try her favorite Peach Mango BodyArmor drink. She would then share that the drink was healthy and helped you play sports better. Sophia would chime in that people should try the Watermelon Strawberry flavor. I would then give a shout out for Mixed Berry. The girls made me laugh all summer long.
After each soccer practice and game Stella would ask me when we were bringing BodyArmor to soccer. She is a determined player! So, I approached our awesome coach and asked if we could bring BodyArmor to a soccer practice. I explained how we had connected with BodyArmor and were big fans of their natural products. The coach gave us a thumbs up!
While the girls were in school I went over to Jewel-Osco and picked up a bunch of BodyArmor flavors for teammates to try. They were out of some of our favorites like Lemonade, Peach Mango, and Strawberry Banana flavors. Stella had been very specific on what she wanted to share. I thought my influencer, Stella might have some good insights on favorites for the five-year-old crowd so I headed over to Target. If we had a Sam’s Club near us I would have tried there too! I found the favorite flavors at Target and knew the girls would be happy.

Stella and Sophia were excited to load up the cooler before soccer practice. Sophia was worried she wouldn’t get to have her favorite BodyArmor Watermelon Strawberry drink so she hid one in a different cooler. Clever girl.
We had a beautiful, Chicago fall night for practice. Before we started practice Stella kept taping the cooler and yelled that she had a surprise for her teammates. Her enthusiasm for BodyArmor is great and this gal has sales in her future. During practice I realized I should probably explain to the parents what I was doing. I shared with little clusters of parents Stella’s obsession with soccer and obsession with BodyArmor. I went on to talk about how the drink has natural flavors, natural sweeteners, no preservatives and no colors from artificial sources. I talked about how a co-founder is from SmartWater and the iconic Kobe Bryant is a key shareholder. I of course also mentioned that our amazing World Series Champion Chicago Cubs Anthony Rizzo is involved with BodyArmor! The parents were all so nice and happy to try BodyArmor.

The Red Zebras had a great practice! The team did awesome with their soccer drills and are ready for their next big game. After practice Stella and Sophia passed out the BodyArmor drinks and told their teammates about favorite flavors. Their soccer pals loved BodyArmor! It was so sweet and funny watching five-year-olds pitch a product.
I tried to share a bottle of BodyArmor with a dad for his son but he laughing shared that his son only likes a different sports drink and won’t try anything else. We chuckled at the strong opinions of young kids. You can’t win them all. As I looked around the soccer field I saw so many of Stella's teammates and their siblings trying BodyArmor and smiling. Stella was asking teammates if they liked it and they were giving big thumbs up. I asked some of the kids as well and they shared that it tasted really great. Their coach also gave BodyArmor a thumbs up. We ran out of drinks and I was cracking up. I should have brought more! Stella is a good influencer at the wise age of 5! We hope that you will switch to BodyArmor too! Head over to Jewel-Osco and tell them Stella sent you!
