About Mr. Drop Shot!

You didn’t come this far to stop

Welcome fellow tennis and pickleball warriors! I’m Brian, AKA Mr. Drop Shot. Tennis has been my life since high school, leading me to a 5.0 level. In 2014, I survived a widow-maker heart attack with only a 12% survival rate, which reshaped my view on health. This type of heart attack is often fatal; those who survive gain a newfound appreciation for life. Recovery is a mix of physical and emotional healing, and I became an advocate for heart disease prevention and mental health awareness.

Embracing a healthier lifestyle is now a priority as we cherish every moment. I’m dedicated to using my hydration product Drop Shot! to fuel athletes and support vital causes like youth sports and mental health.

Let’s Love Ourselves, Love Others, and Use Our Talents to Make a Change.

Thank you for being part of my journey.

"Life, much like a long rally, is about staying in the present moment between the lines. We do not control the wind or the sun, only our response to the ball. Breathe through the split-step, find your center in the transition, and remember: as long as there is breath, the match is never over." Brian Maltese - AKA Mr. Drop Shot!

As someone who has survived a heart attack, and currently lives with autoimmune conditions post covid, I developed the Mr. Drop Shot! platform to unite the tennis community in a healthier and more meaningful way, utilizing my experiences as a foundation for education and wellness. My goal is to share the insights I have gained about health, resilience, and purpose, enabling players to support each other and lead their best tennis lives, both on and off the court.
