ABOUT US

 

Hi, I am Rob Reynolds and I am here to make a positive impact on the world. I am an ex professional tennis player, entrepreneur, adrenaline junkie, fisherman, gym junkie, people person and the proud Founder of Xpand.

XPAND embodies my inner desire to do more, learn more and be more. I've always believed that anything is possible and if you are prepared to be a beginner, ask questions, consistently turn up, work hard, fail, get up, fail again, get up again and with time make progress, then... you will achieve greatness. 

My mission is to empower the racket sport community to embrace a growth mindset, become their best on and off the court and improve the industry by building a brand that truly caters to the challenges of racket sports.

While I was travelling on the pro tennis tour I became frustrated with the lack of quality training equipment available to our sport and I had no idea where to buy the tools I needed to enhance my game. Inspired to make a difference and solve common problems I faced during my career, I've worked hard to build a brand that caters to the demands of Tennis, with many of the products I build being co-beneficial for other racket sports. 

I take a holistic approach to racket sports. Understanding that the body and mind need to be enhanced to reach our full potential. My first phase of life was spent learning about the body and the process of becoming a pro tennis player. I travelled the world for 7 years competing on the tour and my life consisted of enhancing my on court hitting, gym programs, on court specific fitness, nutrition, meditation, visualisation, sleep and recovery (Ice Baths, Chinese Cupping, Breath Work, Massage, E-Stim, and I even practiced some Self Acupuncture). I've been in the trenches and I know the full time commitment required to become the best player you can be. 

My most important lesson I have learnt to date is that mental and physical freedom comes to those who are true to them selves, show courage to follow their dreams, accept failure and hardship as part of the journey and continue to XPAND everyday. 

Finally, I think we should all dream bigger... my current MEGA GOALS are to help my friend build a pyramid, learn to base jump (looks like the closest thing to real life flying to me), help as many people as I can to build their dream lives, and of course give back and share my love of racket sports with the world.

Aim for the moon and if you miss you'll land in the stars, 

Rob Reynolds.
