I've been sipping on the stuff since high school (20 years ago), and my biceps are skinnier than Sam's fingers. 
Seriously though, my experience with yerba mate is that it's just as stimulating as coffee, but without the jitters or sweaty palms. Unlike coffee, moreover, you can drink mate well into the night and it'll not only help you focus on your paperwork (or whatever else you're staying up late for 
), but it won't interfere with your sleep! Has your experience with it been similar?
I've never done anything athletic in my life, but I can certainly see how it might benefit you if you are (all of the boost, none of the jitters). Of course, and as you know, it's really bitter - and that's usually a deal breaker for people I've known who've tried to switch to it.
Qué será.
