All entrepreneurs have an origin story about how they were able to overcome diversity and challenges and come out on top of difficult situations. Hearing stories like these can be very inspirational and motivating, and the one you are about to read about, Caleb Hammett, is no different. Hammett grew up in Hanover, Massachusetts where he participated in several sports from a young age. He mainly focused on football, hockey, and lacrosse. His journey as an athlete has been a dramatic one to say the least. During his youth years he quickly learned that out of all the sports that he was playing, lacrosse was the one he had the best chance of having a serious future in. He began to train very hard and developed to be a top player in his area and a popular college prospect. Hammett eventually ended up at the University of Massachusetts which is where the official journey of “The Drip King” began. When he was younger, Hammett started to wear eye black to all of his sports games with the sole reason for this being that he liked it and thought it looked cool. He didn’t continue this tradition he had at the beginning of college, but as he became more comfortable and proved himself on the field, he started wearing it again. With the popularity of NIL deals rapidly increasing around this time, he was able to take advantage of this and transform a fun tradition he had as a kid into a full business. The “Drip Stick” was later released and after some patience slowly started to sell for great numbers. Around this time Hammett also started to develop a social media following and used his influence to advertise his product. With the company and social media benefiting off each other Hammett quickly grew into a well-known celebrity within the lacrosse community as well as everyday pop-culture. Hammett would continue to grow his following by creating content around lacrosse and talking about other influencers. This all continued until he had a change of heart. Hammett realized how blessed he was and that it wasn’t from his own doing. Through this realization he found Jesus and now uses his influence and earnings to spread the gospel across social media and at different events!
