Skill, Style, and a Little Bit of Luck: Inside Wrappit Wrappit

MANAHAWKIN, NJ — For Wrappit Wrappit founder Sarah Kocmond, the spark for her business began more than a decade ago with a simple question from her then eight-year-old daughter. She had spotted a rainbow chamois wrap on an older player’s stick and wanted one of her own. Sarah searched high and low, but came up empty. Fast forward ten years — that elusive “can’t-find-it” feeling never left. As her daughter transitioned from high school to college in 2024, Sarah felt it was the perfect moment for a new challenge. After a year of searching, testing, and sourcing, she launched Wrappit Wrappit, bringing colorful, high-quality chamois overwraps to players everywhere.

Today, Wrappit Wrappit is proud to serve as an Official Sponsor of the NFHCA, connecting directly with the coaching community and supporting the growth of the sport at every level.

“I don’t promise to make you a better player — you’ve got to put in the work to do that,” Sarah explains. “But I can make sure you have the right tools, and I believe every goal or save comes from a lot of skill… and a little bit of luck.” True to that philosophy, every Wrappit Wrappit design features a lucky icon or intention. Some are hidden, some are bold — but all are meant to become a player’s own lucky charm on the field.

A Field Hockey Lifer

Sarah’s relationship with field hockey began in eighth grade, when she switched from soccer and raised her hand when the coach asked for anyone who had played goalie. That moment set the course for a lifetime in the game. She went on to play Division I at Brown University, winning ECAC and Ivy League titles and earning a spot at the USA Team tryouts her junior year. While she didn’t make the final cut, the experience of competing among the best players in the country remains a career highlight.

After years in adult leagues, Sarah returned to the sport in a new role — as a coach and mentor — when her daughter picked up a stick. She began helping with clinics, recreation leagues, and school programs, giving back to the sport that had given her so much joy and lifelong friendships. “I tend to raise my hand a lot — maybe that’s the goalie in me,” she laughs.

As her daughter prepared to compete at the Division I level, Sarah sought a new chapter that would keep her close to the sport while offering flexibility. Wrappit Wrappit was born out of that desire, a blend of her creative vision, business instincts, and deep-rooted love for field hockey.

Team USA Inspiration

Sarah’s connection to the game runs even deeper through her family’s role as a host for U.S. National Team athlete Ashley Sessa, opening their home while Ashley trained with the USWNT in Charlotte in preparation for international competition. Getting to know one of the sport’s brightest stars — both on and off the field — reinforced Sarah’s belief in taking risks and embracing change. “Ashley made big decisions, like taking a year off school and training to qualify for Paris 2024. Learning about her likes, dislikes, and lucky rituals even inspired some of my designs,” Sarah shares.

Her involvement with USA Field Hockey began in 2012 as a coach member, and in January 2025 she joined the USA Field Hockey Foundation as a Trustee. She looks forward to contributing to fundraising efforts as the teams prepare for LA 2028.

Expanding Beyond the Pitch

While field hockey remains at Wrappit Wrappit’s core, Sarah recently expanded into pickleball with a line of artist-designed paddle wraps — “art for your paddle” — turning functional gear into a fashion accessory. She continues to explore collaborations with other small businesses and new design ideas, always with the sport’s community spirit in mind.

“Field hockey is a small population in the sports world, but that’s what makes it so special,” Sarah says. “It’s part of me, a fabric of my life, and I’m thankful I’ve found so many ways to keep it there.”

Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs in the Sport

For anyone in the field hockey world considering starting their own business, Sarah’s advice is simple: lean on what the game has already taught you. “This sport gave you tenacity, resiliency, fortitude, and the courage to take risks,” she says. “If it’s something you truly want to do, then do it — and count on your teammates to help you meet your goals or make those saves.”
