Finally a chance to serve the players our gear was originally intended for. Not going to lie, I was tight. Second serve 5-6 in a tiebreak kind of tight. Tight that the coaches, physical trainers and players wouldn't see the value that I knew deep down existed. But when Grand Slam champions and their team fire up to embrace your products it all melts away. Validation kicks in, like a cup overflowing with water you feel an immense sense of joy- the hard work pays off.

Whilst directly helping players with Xpand gear is great, there's something deeper that resonates in us. Empowering people to chase their dreams. While our story has reached a huge milestone its important to reflect on what got us here. The key: Xpand everyday. Day after day, brick by brick, step by step- keep building.

So do yourself a massive favour, go after what you want. Work towards your best self, because maybe in a year or two you look back and say "Wow.... we did that."
