John P. Stevens High School Varsity Tennis Team, 2015

Team Captain, Brian Ho

As a former high school tennis player now playing at my best level over a decade later, I’ve never loved the game more. I play more often, compete harder, and feel more connected to the tennis community than ever before.

Over time, I started noticing a pattern. Even though everyone around me took their tennis seriously, most players didn’t take hydration or fueling seriously at all. They trained hard, played often, yet showed up to sessions with little more than half a bottle of plain water.

It made me wonder why hydration had become so central in general wellness and sports like running, yet tennis players remained underserved.

The pros don’t just drink water. They rely on tailored blends designed by nutritionists to support performance on the court.

The passion started early — I even designed a few pieces for the tennis team back in the day.

That’s where HydraCourt began. Pro-level hydration made accessible for everyday players.

But it didn’t stop there.

The more tennis became part of my lifestyle, the more I felt like tennis was underrepresented off the court.

Most tennis gear felt like country-club uniforms or sponsored kits. I wanted something that reflected the love for the game in a way that felt cool, exciting, and expressive.

Something that could spark meaningful conversations with other tennis players.

The form was questionable, but the love was real.

So, the vision became more than just hydration.

My goal is to build a hyper-focused tennis brand for real players who see the sport as a lifestyle. To fuel players and their love for the game.

All while building a community that feels like you're playing high school tennis again. A community we call
