Rachel Zietz was only 13 when she began her entrepreneurship journey. Rachel was a lacrosse player who was not settling for the expensive and the nondurable equipment.  She had an idea of creating her own products using more durable materials but at a cheaper price.  She pitched her idea at a Young Entrepreneurs Academy after she had attended and she was awarded $2,700 for the start up of her company.  Rachel was involved with the decisions of the concepts and the selection of the raw materials. She was very detailed in her decisions and it reflects upon her passion for the game.  In the first two years o the company, they made $200,000 in sales and then they were up to one million dollars in revenue just two years later. They still continue to sell high quality practice equipment that include back yard rebounders, goals, clothing and accessories.

Rachel’s products are unique because on average they are 20% stronger than the competitors and they are able to withstand mother nature.  Her company seemed to bloom very well. Rachel saw there was a need for these items and it shows in her sales from even the first two years.  Her brand also has an ambassador who is a major league lacrosse player named Casey Powell which is very great for her business to be promoted to that scene of people.  Rachel’s passions for taking charge and making a change lead to great opportunities.
