ABOUT US SLAMIT® Ownership Team

Mady Wolfe:
SLAMIT® Founder

SLAMIT® was born on the court—where performance, passion, and community collide. Founder Mady Wolfe is a former Division I tennis player and current pickleball pro. After getting frustrated with playing great one day and bad the next, Mady set out on a mission to help players play more consistently—and win tough matches—without so many bad days in between.

With a degree in Exercise Science and years of experience as a collegiate athlete, Mady knew the key to better play wasn’t just practice—it’s smarter fueling. So, she teamed up with registered dietitian Shawn Wells—known as “The World’s Most Trusted Formulator”—and PPA Pros Anna Bright and Zane Navratil, to create the science-backed SLAMIT HYDRATE & FOCUS, built specifically for pickleball performance.

But SLAMIT® is about more than just a high-performance hydration brand. For Mady, the pickleball community has been life-changing. It’s where she met her husband, formed her closest friendships, and found a source of strength and joy during some of life’s most difficult times. That’s why giving back to our community means everything to her.

Through SLAMIT®, Mady’s not only building products to help players perform their best—she’s also conducting free pickleball camps for kids in need—giving them the chance to experience the same support, inspiration and sense of belonging that pickleball has given her.  Her first SLAMIT Kids Camp™ (with the charity Paddle Forward™) is for the survivors of the Lahaina fires this December in Maui.  Follow our social media accounts for inspiring updates.

Backed by a full scientific advisory team—as well as top pros and coaches like Anna Bright, Zane Navratil, Kyle Koszuta, John Cincola, Shea Underwood and Tanner Tomassi—SLAMIT is a movement to elevate the sport and inspire every player to play their best pickleball ever.
