The Funk That Almost Tore the Team Apart
Every team has its challenges. Injuries, tough opponents, even bad calls from refs. But for this high school team? Their biggest battle wasn’t on the field—it was in the locker room.
It started subtly. A whiff of something...off. Then, after a few weeks, it became undeniable. The locker room smelled like a mix of sweaty socks, old sandwiches, and pure regret. Gear bags reeked of week-old sweat, cleats carried the stench of defeat, and carpool rides? Windows had to be rolled down—even in the middle of winter.
Players started complaining. No one wanted to sit next to Ethan, whose shin guards smelled like they’d been marinated in a swamp. Jaden’s football gloves had their own personality, and not in a good way. By mid-season, the smell wasn’t just gross—it was demoralizing. The team was bonding over how bad they all smelled instead of focusing on the game.
The Fresh Play That Changed Everything
That’s when Coach had enough.
After one particularly ripe practice, he pulled out a bottle of RANK Spray and told the team, "Guys, your gear smells like a science experiment gone wrong. This stuff? It’s going to fix it."
Skeptical but desperate, the players gave it a shot. And that’s when things changed.
- Cleats and Shoes: The worst offenders. One quick spray inside and the instant relief was undeniable. No more clearing out entire rooms after taking off their shoes.
- Gear Bags: The dreaded moment of unzipping a bag after a long day? No longer terrifying. A spritz inside stopped the trapped sweat stench in its tracks.
- Pads and Gloves: These were the sneaky culprits—the ones that looked fine but smelled like they’d been dunked in a dumpster. Regular RANK Spray treatment kept them from becoming biohazards.
- Lockers: One player started using it inside his locker. Then another. Soon, the entire team had made RANK Spray a pre-game ritual.
From Funk to Fresh—The Ultimate Win
