Athletes
Training, competition, travel and recovery create real hydration decisions. Athlete collaborations should show that context without promising that a product caused a result.
Athletes & Ambassadors
People Who Put Hydration Into Practice
Best Hydrate works with athletes and active-community partners where the fit is authentic, expectations are clear, and promotional claims stay inside the evidence.
Real fitPartnerships should connect to the athlete, audience and actual hydration context rather than force generic endorsements.
Clear disclosureSponsored, gifted and affiliate relationships should be identified transparently wherever they appear.
Evidence firstAmbassadors can describe their experience, but individual experience is not clinical or performance proof.
Featured athlete
Dianna Proctor
Edmonton sprinter Dianna Proctor competes in the 400 metres and relay events. In 2026 she represented Canada at the World Athletics Relays and was part of the Canadian-record mixed 4×400 metre squad. She also won the women's 300 metres at the 2026 U SPORTS Championships with the University of Guelph.
Her profile is a useful example of what an athlete partnership can be: a real high-performance setting, a clear connection to hydration, and claims that remain separate from the athlete's personal results.

Different partnership types need different expectations
Coaches & creators
Education and routine-based content can help people understand hydration, provided sponsorship is disclosed and advice stays within the creator's scope.
Teams & events
Sampling, event support and community partnerships can introduce the product in context without turning participation into an endorsement of scientific claims.
What partnership does not mean
An athlete result is not a product result
Performance is shaped by training, coaching, recovery, nutrition, health, environment and many other factors. Best Hydrate does not treat a medal, personal best or team selection as evidence that the product caused the outcome.
That distinction protects the athlete and keeps the brand aligned with the same evidence standard used throughout the Science pages.

More context
People can tell stories without becoming the evidence
Athletes and ambassadors help us show where hydration fits into real lives, training and communities. Their experiences are valuable, but sponsorship or personal testimony should not be mistaken for proof that a product improves performance for everyone.
