WELP! I took a LONG ASS BREAK! Time to get back to it! August 2022.
So many people are curious as to how I came up with this idea. I have had this notion of how important it is to be observant about my environment and that notion led to this idea as well as many more. I am an educator by trade and we tend to problem-solve. So, this is my solution to the SWEAT epidemic.
Being a former elite at T.C. Williams, LSU and UMCP allowed me to interact with some of the greatest athletes of all time and I realized that, "WE ARE SWEATY!"
We all sweat! Yet, I noticed (myself included) that we use our shirts to wipe our sweat-but it leaves a wet mark or stain. Frankly, our shirts are not absorbent enough to pull away moisture and keep us dry.
While watching my favorite basketball team (I will keep them nameless ☀️), everyone was hunched over, using their jerseys to wipe their sweat. I saw it again at the gym, field, work, outside walking, and seemingly everywhere I turned. I couldn't stop thinking about sweaty people. The next time my team played, I saw them again-hunched over using their jersey's to wipe their sweat.
That is when I knew I had to solve this problem. I grabbed my iPad Pro and iPencil and started sketching out solutions. I've gone trough quite a few rounds and I am almost at the end.
I hope that I provide you with a product that will forever change your sweat experience.
