“The heart, like tennis, finds balance in rhythm—peace of mind and strength of body create the perfect rally.” - Brian Maltese

Born from a passion for tennis, heart health, mental wellness, and living strong, Drop Shot! was created to energize both body and spirit. More than just an electrolyte drink mix, Drop Shot! is vibrant, refreshing, and designed to inspire a healthier, happier you—on and off the court.

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 me, teaching me discipline, perseverance, and community—the very qualities that helped me navigate my health crises. My heart attack became a wake-up call, prompting drastic lifestyle changes focused on heart health, fitness, and mental well-being, things I thought I already was doing in life. Surviving COVID-19 and a severe gut infection further deepened his commitment to wellness on and off the tennis court, especially the crucial link between gut health and athletic performance.

Just like a well-placed serve can change the game, small steps towards health can transform your life. Stay in the rally of well-being!

Heart Attack Leads Founder on a Mission

Today, I channel my journey into serving the tennis community through workshops, clinics, and talks that blend practical health advice with my personal story of resilience. I’m also passionate about creating products designed to inspire players to take charge of their health and wellness on and off the court. While these products aren’t a cure for health challenges, they represent tools and inspiration that help me—and hopefully others—perform at their best. I believe tennis is more than a game; it’s a catalyst for physical fitness, mental clarity, and community connection, empowering people to embrace lasting wellness over quick fixes.”
