About The Founder
As a competitive tennis player with coaching experience, I’ve spent years figuring out what truly gives athletes, from complete novices to seasoned competitors, a real edge.
I’ve trained under elite coaches (some very pricey!), competed in league matches, and coached players at all levels: beginners, juniors, weekend warriors, and aspiring professionals.
That coaching journey gave me a broader perspective. I saw firsthand the wide variety of player types, the physical and mental challenges they face, and how so many were held back, not by lack of talent, but by inconsistent recovery, poor energy regulation, joint discomfort, or mental fatigue. Over time, I realized that small but strategic changes in preparation, from nutrition to mindset, often made the difference between a good match and a great one.
Like many athletes, I turned to supplements without truly considering the science behind them.
But most of what I found were generic gym products: high in caffeine, low in nuance. Built for the weight room, not the tennis court. They offered short-term stimulation, not sustainable, long-term performance.
With a background as a science educator in biology instruction, medical research, and now training as a medical doctor. I approached this challenge through a biochemical lens.
I didn’t want another superficial “gym bro” product repackaged for tennis players. I wanted something targeted, intelligent, and effective, a range of formulas with real performance value.
In designing the ACE formulas, I asked the critical questions:
- How does this ingredient convert in the body?
- What biological pathways does it influence?
- Can it deliver real-world improvements on match day, physically, mentally, and over time?
Where Biochemistry Meets Match Play
I didn’t want to create just another supplement. I wanted to design a complete performance system. Built with the same scientific rigor you’d find in pharmacology or clinical research, and tailored specifically to the unique stresses and strains of tennis.
Every stage, from formulation to ingredient decision, lab testing, and manufacturing was considered and actioned; all with greater purpose and intention.
I personally ensured each product was rooted in mechanism-driven science, where the impact of each ingredient was validated not just by existing research, but by how it acts on physiological pathways.
Each formula was developed with an understanding that real performance comes from how the body’s systems interact: the nervous system controls focus and coordination, the musculoskeletal system drives movement and joint stability, the endocrine and stress systems regulate recovery and composure, the circulatory system delivers nutrients and oxygen, and the cellular energy systems power every shot with ATP.
Every ingredient in ACE was selected for its mechanism of action and how it supports these systems to work together, not just to stimulate, but to sustain peak performance where it matters most: on the court.
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)
Mechanism: Modulates the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) axis, downregulating cortisol levels and enhancing stress resilience. Supports composure under pressure and long-term adrenal balance.
Cordyceps Militaris
Mechanism: Stimulates mitochondrial ATP production and improves oxygen uptake, enhancing cellular energy metabolism. Boosts endurance and physical output without overstimulation.
Glucosamine Sulfate
Mechanism: Increases glycosaminoglycan synthesis, aiding cartilage regeneration and joint lubrication. Supports long-term joint health, particularly under repetitive stress.
Bacopa Monnieri
Mechanism: Inhibits acetylcholinesterase, thereby increasing acetylcholine levels, the neurotransmitter responsible for focus and memory. Enhances concentration, point-to-point clarity, and cognitive stamina.
Each of these ingredients plays a distinct, science-backed role, but what makes ACE truly effective is how they interact together, promoting balance across neurological, muscular, and metabolic systems.
I made sure every formula was composed of high-quality, bioavailable
ingredients, chosen not just for their individual pharmacodynamics, but for how they work together, on match day, and over the long term.
My Vision for ACE
My mission is to build more than a supplement line, I want ACE to be a trusted brand. That means continuously refining the formulas, expanding the range, and creating useful resources that support physical and mental performance, both on and off the court. I see ACE as part of a tennis performance ecosystem, empowering smarter training, better prep, and more resilient bodies and minds.
Whether you’re training for a Grand Slam or just staying sharp through your 40s and 50s, ACE is here to support your rhythm, recovery, and long-term performance.
No fluff. No gimmicks. Just what works.
Stay sharp. Stay steady. Stay in rhythm.
