Spanish term (edited):
Métele caña a la mañana!
Selected
Kick-start your day!
I think I would naturally say 'day' over 'morning' here in English. I feel it's an appropriate rendering for the context too (as in, 'kick start' - kick football).
Another way of putting it would be "Get your day off to a kick start!"

: Nice one. I was toying with "Make the morning go with a bang", but quite frankly I prefer this.

Thanks, Maria-Jose. Yes that could work too, although I suggested "kick" to tie in with kicking football... :)
