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.
This is an interesting story! The fact that she saw a problem and successfully created a solution at just the age of 13 is amazing. I agree with you that Rachel’s love for and knowledge of the game played a huge part in her success.
This story is very fascinating! At the age of 13 this is impressive to act on such a problem that affected her practice for lacrosse. Rachel making a solution for the giant hole in the net is awesome, it shows the many skills she has as a young entrepreneur. Also, I would definitely say her love for the game was a huge part in her creating such a great product that now many of lacrosse players use. She benefited herself and many others as well with this idea. Great job on this post, I really liked it!
