waterboys

Team drink carriers

Waterboys are attendants who provide water to athletes during games or practices, keeping players hydrated on the sidelines.

The role is often an entry point into professional sports for young people hoping to work their way up.

By extension, a waterboy is anyone who does menial support work for others: He's just a waterboy for the executives.
