Throughout the course of his career, Dan Hurley’s demeanor has rubbed plenty of people the wrong way. However, no one can deny that he’s one of the most successful coaches in college basketball.
Over the past couple of years, there has been a bit of a myth surrounding him and his orange bottle. Fans online started a theory that stated that whenever he drank from it, UConn got into epic runs and didn’t lose a game.
There was a long-going debate about the content of said bottle. Some argued that it was no ordinary sports drink, and Hurley finally decided to put an end to all speculation.
Dan Hurley reveals what’s in his drink
“I just took a sip of my p**s,” Hurley jokingly told Hurley Mania before claryfing what was his drink of choice. “So now I go like, about 90 minutes before game, I tip off, I go mushroom coffee with a little MCT. Brain octane into the coffee, you know, just to get that extra advantage over whoever I’m coaching against. And then during the game, I’ll go with a bulletproof Mentalist blend.”

For those who aren’t aware, MCT stands for medium-chain triglyceride, which is an oil annd mushroom coffee pro athletes choose to maintain energy levels and boost concentration and cognitive function.
Well, whatever works for him. He’s led the Huskies to back-to-back national titles, so if it isn’t worked, then he shouldn’t fix it, and superstition also plays a big part in sports.
Then again, given how the Huskies have fared this season, perhaps he should start thinking about testing out a different brand or another drink, as they’re a long shot to repeat as national championships.
