OS1st Announces Pickleball Player Jocelyn “Jay” Devilliers as Sponsored Athlete
The Leading Brand of Performance Socks and Compression Bracing Products Teams Up with Professional Pickleball Champion to Highlight the Importance of Premium Gear for Health and Wellness
HICKORY, NC (May 3, 2023) - OS1st, the leading manufacturer of performance socks and compression-bracing products, today announced it entered into an agreement with professional pickleball champion Jocelyn “Jay” Devilliers, to act as a sponsored athlete and brand ambassador. The partnership comes as part of OS1st's commitment to supporting athletes who inspire others to live active and healthy lifestyles.
Jay Devilliers, also referred to as the Flying Frenchman, has consistently been one of the top professional pickleball players in the world. Prior to his pickleball career, Devilliers played professional tennis internationally starting at age 14 until a severe injury prevented him from continuing to the Association of Tennis Professionals Tour. Instead of letting that stop him, he went on to play collegiate tennis at Wichita State University before trading his racket for a paddle in 2019.
"We are thrilled to welcome Jay Devilliers to the OS1st family," said Josh Higgins, President of OS1st. "Jay is a phenomenal athlete and a great ambassador for the sport of pickleball. His dedication and passion for the game is an inspiration to many, and we are excited to support him in his journey."
OS1st is committed to providing Jay with the support and resources he needs to perform at his best and achieve his goals. Devilliers can always be seen wearing crew cut, OS1st pickleball socks built for the court with impact protection and blister prevention using lightweight cushion and patented cooling technology. He’s also known for his compression arm sleeves using OS1st Compression Zone Technology® to promote muscle recovery, proper circulation and reduce muscle fatigue.
"I am excited to partner with OS1st, a company that shares my love for the sport and is dedicated to helping athletes stay in the game," said Jay Devilliers. "Their products have been essential in helping me recover from injuries and stay at the top of my game. I look forward to representing the brand and inspiring others to pursue their passions, even when you have to re-imagine what that looks like."
