As the Premier League has evolved over the past decade, players have become fitter, more agile and stronger and the game as a whole has become faster. This all means that there’s more pressure than ever before for Premier League referees to keep pace with the action.
In the modern game, top flight players can cover up to 13km every fixture and put in plenty of jumps, tackles and short, sharp sprints. Referees need to train for the same standards. Decisions in the last minute are just as important as those in the first, and so making the right call depends on being in the perfect spot at the perfect time. There simply isn’t room for error.
In order to fuel referees right through until the final whistle, Lucozade Sport is committed to providing the PGMO with tailored sports nutrition products that can help them stay on top of the action.
As the Official Sports Drink of the Barclays Premier League, Lucozade Sport has developed its product range with footballers and teams at the very top of the game. What’s more, its products are proven to provide a performance Edge on the pitch and can help referees stay fuelled, hydrated and alert for 90 minutes of intense, competitive football.
