After being down for a few weeks, I wasn't quite sure where to start with this blog entry...
As I sat back and reflected on our time apart, it occurred to me that the whole ethos of the movement we watched unfold over the last few weeks is based on faith in progress and excellence. This seems like an appropriate place to start, because I truly believe that Nutrilite is the finest example in the vitamin, mineral and supplement market of progress and excellence - constantly striving to the best of nature, best of science.
Because of this, we are incredibly particular about the athletes we sponsor... All of our athletes compete on the world's biggest stages, and due to the nature of these high-profile events, every day they are held to higher standards then athletes in many other professional sports. I guess you could say that's why they are such a great fit with the Nutrilite brand, which also holds itself to higher standards then its competitors in the vitamin, mineral & supplement market.
Right now our excitement and pride for our sponsored athletes is so great, that it's something we feel should be shared with the entire country... and that's exactly what we're going to do!
Today’s issue of USA TODAY will feature a full-page, four-color ad that highlights four of our Team Nutrilite athletes and congratulates them on their recent successes. The ad points out that what "these 2008 medal-winning athletes have in common" is NUTRILITE® vitamins, minerals, and dietary supplements.
The four featured athletes are:
Sprinter Asafa Powell, 2008 gold medal winner
Sprinter Sanya Richards, 2008 gold and bronze medal winner
Soccer great Ronaldinho, 2008 bronze medal winner
Pole vaulter Jenn Stuczynski, 2008 silver medal winner
