The makers of Musashi, Vitaco, is proud to announce Australian soccer superstar Kyra Cooney-Cross as an athlete ambassador for its brand new female nutrition product range ATHENA Sports Nutrition. The campaign launching next week, has a clear message - made by female athletes, made for athletic women. Two other elite female athletes will join Cooney-Cross in the campaign, captain and centre for the Queensland Firebirds netballer Kim Ravaillion and rising star of Australian basketball and WNBL Sydney Flames players Emma Clarke.
Cooney-Cross is excited with her new role, stating, "I know Athena means 'goddess of war'. As female athletes, we face battles, both on and off the field to keep our body at optimum performance level. After learning about the new range and that it was 100% dedicated to athletic women, I was totally onboard. I strive to improve and get better at each training session and ATHENA helps me achieve that on a daily basis. The Protein Water + Collagen is my favourite for post training recovery and best of all - it tastes good!"
In preparation for Paris, Cooney says, "I'm ready to go, I'm ready to take my performance on the pitch to the next level. The entire country rallied and supported us in the World Cup, so the team and I are focused on achieving that one goal for sporting fans in Australia."
"Kyra was a perfect choice to become an ATHENA athlete. We know the product range will support, celebrate and empower her to elevate her performance. Female athletes have different nutritional needs to fuel their body, so after many years of research with dieticians and athletes we developed a product range that has unique +Factors (iron, collagen, calcium and electrolytes) to support female athletes," says ATHENA Brand Lead, Cristy Riddell.
The Athena product range is currently available from athenanutrition.com.au, Chemist Warehouse and Coles
