Rachel Zietz: Gladiator Lacrosse

When Rachel Zietz was practicing for lacrosse, the net of the rebounder she was using broke. The net was ruined by a giant hole made from the ball. Rachel acted on this problem and created a more durable rebounder by expanding the thickness of the net and the steel bars. She did this at the age of just 13-years-old.

Rachel participated in the Young Entrepreneurs Academy Program. This gave her the idea to start a business which would provide quality lacrosse equipment at an affordable price. This is how Gladiator Lacrosse was invented. She built her ideas off her passion and love for the game of lacrosse. That is why each product is made thoughtfully. In addition, she is personally involved with the product concept and selection of raw materials to ensure the best quality possible. You can now purchase a variety of products from the Gladiator Lacrosse website. What sets her business apart from other competitors, is the strong materials used to make the equipment last. Her brand has flourished and are now proud partners with Amazon.

Her love for the game is what truly helped her business ideas to grow. She saw a problem and was determined enough to find a solution.
