Passionate about tennis, mental health, and healthy living.

I’m Brian Maltese—also known as Mr. Drop Shot!—a lifelong tennis player and coach. In 2014, I survived a massive widow maker heart attack that forever changed my perspective on health and purpose. Now, as the founder of Drop Shot!, I’m dedicated to giving back to the tennis community by promoting prevention, advocating for heart health screenings, and inspiring players to care for their bodies and minds on and off the court.

With every Drop Shot!, you nourish your body, awaken your spirit, and help serve others—spreading health, strength, and love far beyond the court.
