Simple, clean fuel
A fencing competition is a long day of short, intense bouts with waiting in between. Drake keeps it simple: he fuels with Hammer Gel, whose complex carbohydrates give him steady energy from the first pool bout to the last direct elimination. After his Minime ranking win he thanked Hammer Nutrition Philippines "for keeping me fueled for battle".
This is what happens when talent meets discipline and the right fuel. Keep going, champ. We are all behind you.
