I'm Tim Kafourous, founder of Nuevo Botánico (NUBO CBD), and this is my story. From a very young age, tennis was my life. I was always tall for my age, known for a powerful serve, and certainly a rather unpredictable temper. It's taken me forty years to understand where that came from; sometimes we bury things so deeply that we only discover them much later in life.
Tennis gave me incredible highs, but also lasting injuries. In my junior days, strength training and recovery weren't what they are today. I struggled with recurring elbow and back pain that eventually forced me off the court. After moving to Spain in my early twenties to teach tennis, the pain became constant. The long hours on the court took their toll, until one day, I smashed my rackets and walked away for good.
For years, I couldn't even watch tennis. Instead, I turned to media, working for newspapers, magazines, and eventually running a national media group. It was rewarding, but sitting behind a desk all day resulted in even worse back pain.
