Why Second Wind exists
I've been going to sports tournaments since I was 7 years old. Every single one sold the same thing: fried food, candy, soda — exactly what an athlete's body doesn't need between games. It never made sense to me. We expect athletes to perform, then hand them the worst possible fuel to do it.
I played football and lacrosse at Garnet Valley High School, then went on to play five years of Division I lacrosse at Mount St. Mary's University — alongside two of my own brothers. It's where my faith took root, and it's stayed with me ever since. I earned my undergrad in Business there, then my MBA. I spent a sixth and final year of D1 lacrosse at Hofstra University, earning a Master's in Finance.
Second Wind started as an answer to something I'd been seeing my entire life. But I don't want it to stay a stand at a tournament. I want it to be a way of life — the reminder that you can't put garbage into your body and expect it to perform like it should. On the field and off it, your body deserves better than that. Give it what it needs, and it'll give you a second wind.
