Want to Train Like Real Madrid? Start With Good Health.

Time to Dress Like the Best

If you’re going to train like a champion, first you must look the part.

To kick off the day, influencers were inducted into the Abbott-Real Madrid team by signing a one-day contract and participating in a ceremonial personalized team jersey presentation, emceed by former NFL quarterback and current football analyst Mark Sanchez.

Next, out to the pitch. Influencers traded basketballs, footballs and their typical fitness routines for soccer balls on the pitch. Real Madrid coaches made the transition to soccer seamless by teaching them skills used by Real Madrid players. 

In addition to learning new soccer skills from Real Madrid coaches, influencers enjoyed three Ensure Max Protein challenges that tested their strength and performance.

Time to Fuel Like the Best

During the clinic, Pedialyte hydration stations were set up outside to keep influencers hydrated in the hot Los Angeles sun. And after the clinic, Bede led the group through a fun, interactive nutrition session on how to refuel after a strenuous workout. Influencers had the opportunity to create their own post-workout smoothies and parfaits using Ensure Max Protein.

To wrap up the day, influencers were scored and awarded a personalized “player card” inspired by a popular soccer video game — complete with their ranking in each activity from the day.

Now, that’s the power of health through sports. Cheers to good health!
