Gatorade is a flagship brand of PepsiCo and has a commanding 75% market share of the sports nutrition beverage marketplace globally, being sold into 80 different countries according to the latest PepsiCo annual report published in late 2011. Gatorade's success in branding and product marketing has actually expanded the global market for sports nutrition beverages during the late 1990s and into the 21rst century. Recently however the company has faced many channels including product line extensions of the last decade which failed to deliver strong results (Pollack, 1997) and a more critical analysis of their ingredients as many of their beverages are sold in public schools (Tallon, 2009). Despite these challenges however, Gatorade continues to experience strong market share and growth. The intent of this analysis is to evaluate and provide recommendations for each of the four areas of the marketing mix including product, price, promotion and place or distribution.

The ultimate goal of marketing is to become a household name, meaning that a product should be well known to everyone. Sports marketing has the same goal, except the product is associated with sports such as sports clothing, teams, or sports drinks.

As well, sport drinks have the ability to provide a subject with an increased amount of endurance for their exercise. One reason why sport drinks have this capability is due to the carbohydrates found in the beverages. These carbohydrates exist as either of two sugars, sucrose and glucose-fructose, which provide the energy for the body that makes sport drinks better to use during exercise than water (Tsintzas 155). Carbohydrate consumption allows athletes to work harder for longer periods of time and to feel better while doing the exercises. A recent study determined that runners who had only water to drink lost speed during the race compared to those who had sport drinks. Also, performance time was faster in runners who consumed the sport drinks as opposed to water. It was only during the final 17.2 kilometres of the race that the performance times began to differ and the runners who drank the sport drinks ran faster (Tsintzas 156). Furthermore, the exercise intensity was higher towards the end of the race from those runners who had the sport drinks. As with most performance enhancing implements, sport drinks have potential drawbacks.

Their have been many developments in sport and coaching science (CS) over the last few years. Davies et al (1965) have suggested that the developmetns made are, in the field of sports science, mainly related to the changes in technologies. Smith and Wesson (2006) have indicated that, though changes in coaching science are not as easy to pinpoint the cause, changes in practice are most likely to be as a result of changes in the approach of many coaches to develop a more athlete centred approach. It has also been suggested that the development of media technologies has led to changes in practice. In this essay, I will identify the issues which have led to changes in these sciences, and weather they have been good or bad. I will then go on to

Despite these setbacks the Gatorade brand continues to experience exceptional growth and stability over time.

Substitutes are plentiful available to take the place of a Glanbia product. A consumer upon entrance into most health shops would be greeted with tubs upon tubs of different whey proteins. The long list of substitutes erodes the demand for Glanbia products such as optimum nutrition. Brands such as Maxinuitrition, Muscle tech and cellucor are all household names when it comes to the performance supplement market. To combat this Glanbia have marketed there number one product Optimum Nutrition as a health supplement for all types of people and kept the BSN range more focused on the more advanced gym goers and body builders. The separation of the two brands has given Glanbia more power at either side of the market.
