Why Second Wind exists
I've been going to sports tournaments since I was seven years old. Too often, athletes are expected to perform at their best while being offered junk food between games. That never made sense to me.
Second Wind was created to give athletes better fuel on the field — real options that help them keep going.
But the mission is bigger than food and drinks.
I played football and lacrosse at Garnet Valley High School, then went on to play five years of Division I lacrosse at Mount St. Mary's University — alongside two of my own brothers. It's where my faith took root, and it's stayed with me ever since. I earned my undergrad in Business there, then my MBA. I spent a sixth and final year of D1 lacrosse at Hofstra University, earning a Master's in Finance.
It was during that year at Hofstra that I learned more about Nick Colleluori, his family, and the HEADstrong Foundation. Nick was a Hofstra lacrosse player from Delaware County whose fight against cancer grew into a foundation that continues to support families battling the disease.

Through Second Wind apparel, 10% of every purchase is donated to the HEADstrong Foundation to help give families battling cancer a Second Wind off the field.
We fuel athletes on the field. We help support families off it.
Because everyone deserves a Second Wind.
