What inspired you to give Caffeine Bullet a try? Why did you feel like you needed a caffeine boost?
Curtis, one of the lads from one of the many football teams I play for, brought some down for the boys! He raved about the effects they could have, but he is the Marketing Manager for the company, so of course he would! I gave them a go, and they really did give me a boost of energy on a early Sunday morning kick off. Since then, I've never looked back. I have a very hectic life with a physically demanding job, football three or more times a week, plus additional exercise. When my energy is running low, a caffeine boost gets me back to the level I need to be.
How did you find the taste and ease of use of our products? What do you typically use them for and why do you prefer them to alternative products?
They taste great, and it’s so easy to dip your hand into the bag, grab a Caffeine Bullet, and unwrap it in a matter of seconds! I love sweet flavours and chewing (the ChocoLIT Orange Chews are my favourite!), so it’s such a simple and effective way to get a boost.
How has Caffeine Bullet played a part in your journey to smash your personal bests?
They keep my energy and performance levels at their best over a long day at work followed by football, especially when energy is running low. In my position, I need to stay focused from start to finish. I might have nothing to do for 89 minutes of a game, but then I might be called upon to make a save in the last minute. I have to remain alert, so they're great to have at the start of a match when energy is low, or even at half-time if my focus levels are lacking after a hard day's work.
For those considering trying Caffeine Bullet, what advice would you share?
Definitely give them a go! Don't wait for Curtis to tell you how good they are haha! Try them yourself and feel the effect they can have. They could be the boost you need!
What PBs have Caffeine Bullet helped you set?
I only joined Curtis' team at the start of this season, and although we didn't have the greatest season I also played for Ilkeston Town Vets team, and we won the EMVL Premier League West, conceding the least number of goals in the league. So, I'd class that as a PB! Outside of football, I still like to mountain bike, where I complete a 15-mile circuit averaging around 16/17 mph.
