Can DK Metcalf and Nesquik dash for the Olympic gold?

DK Metcalf has long proclaimed his love of Nesquik Strawberry Milk. The celebrated NFL football wide receiver has shared many stories how that strawberry milk has been part of his routine. That simple treat enjoyed as a child has stayed with him much longer.

Now, Metcalf is looking to use his favorite beverage to fuel an even bigger dream. Could that sweet milk bring an Olympic goal?

Metcalf is trying to qualify for the 100M Dash at the Tokyo Olympics. If he succeeds in this quest, Nesquik will offer free Strawberry Milk.

Check out the brand’s tweet.

According to the brand, if Metcalf qualifies then their Twitter account will share a link for fans to enter to win free strawberry milk. The prize, for those who qualify, would be a case of free Nesquik Strawberry Milk.

Whether or not Metcalf qualifies is only part of the story. The reality is that it is inspiring to see brands support athletes in their Olympic dreams. From this special offering to Reese’s standing with U.S. Olympic swimmers, these promotions are just the start of the buildup to Tokyo.

In many ways these types of promotions show how Olympic athletes need the support of not just their direct group but others. Even though fans might not be cheering from the stands, brands and supporters can encourage from afar.

Whether or not DK Metcalf runs the fastest 100M Dash is not the end to this story. Sure, many people would love the free strawberry milk, but think beyond just that one moment. Help an athlete reach their goals for today, tomorrow and far beyond. Whether it is that favorite drink, a ride to practice or that extra funding for training, it takes a big group effort to stand atop that podium.

What food has helped you reach a goal? Do you have a great post-workout food or regime to recommend?
