Sometime this job really does have its perks. Like directing your childhood sports hero in a piece about hydration and calendars. Huh?

In this years Gatorade Beat the Heat video Peyton Manning channeled his inner ‘creative director’ recruiting athletes to participate in Gatorade’s 2020 heat safety calendar featuring sweaty hot athletes, in an effort to educate athletes, coaches and parents on the importance of hydration and heat safety.
