COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — With demanding practice routines, lessons, and busy national and international travel schedules, fencers sometimes feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day. And that’s before you factor in school, work and a social life.

That packed schedule — coupled with scientific research outlining the links between quality sleep and improved athletic performance — make sleep a vital part of an athlete’s routine.

At USA Fencing, we know the critical role of rest and recovery in achieving excellence on and off the strip, and that’s why we’re thrilled to announce our latest partnership with Beam, now the Official Sleep Supplement of USA Fencing.

Beam, founded by pro athletes including avid CrossFit competitors, Ironman triathletes, and marathoners, brings its expertise in natural wellness solutions to USA Fencing members. The goal: introduce fencers to knowledge and resources designed to enhance their sleep quality and overall well-being.

“In the high-stakes environment of competitive fencing, every advantage counts,” says Phil Andrews, USA Fencing CEO. “Our collaboration with Beam underscores our commitment to supporting our athletes’ holistic health, ensuring they have access to top-tier products for sleep and recovery — both essential for peak performance.”

Beam's flagship product, the Dream Powder, has been clinically shown to improve sleep in 93% of users, according to a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. For fencers, whose demanding lifestyles can often compromise sleep quality, that’s a potentially huge impact.

"We are thrilled to announce our partnership with USA Fencing, and it's a privilege to support their dedicated members and athletes,” says Beam co-founder Kevin Moran. "Recognizing the pivotal role of sleep in achieving athletic excellence, we are excited to empower this esteemed organization and its athletes in their quest for success, both within the fencing arena and beyond."

Fencers and supporters can explore and purchase Beam's wellness supplements through a dedicated portal, where every purchase will both benefit their own health and support USA Fencing.

This partnership joins other significant collaborations in USA Fencing’s partnership program for 2024, including Avis, Bell Bank and RAIN Pure Mountain Spring Water. Together, these partnerships expand USA Fencing’s portfolio in health and wellness, automotive, banking, and more — all in an effort to enhance the resources and support available to athletes at all levels of our sport.
