The Drop Shot! Story
Passionate about tennis, heart disease, mental health, and healthy living.
Brian Maltese, AKA "Mr. Drop Shot!", the founder of Drop Shot! Hydration Electrolyte Mix, and an avid tennis player and coach, lived a healthy lifestyle focused on exercise and nutrition for the majority of his athletic life.
Tennis has been a lifelong passion for Brian, teaching him discipline, perseverance, and community—the very qualities that helped him navigate his health crises. His heart attack became a wake-up call, prompting drastic lifestyle changes focused on heart health, fitness, and mental well-being. Surviving COVID-19 and a severe gut infection further deepened his commitment to wellness, especially the crucial link between gut health and athletic performance.
