What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

Playing matches, she loves the competition and excitement she gets from earning points. She enjoys setting goals and reaching them. She loves the friendships she’s made along the way. Tennis teaches her many life lessons.


Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

Coco Gauff: she prioritizes authenticity, mental health, and self-belief amid intense pressure. She shows that extraordinary accomplishments can happen early with courage and persistence. She never gets down on herself on the court and she is just an incredible player. “You’re never to young to dream big”


What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

It’s hard to pick just one but what makes me the proudest is when she sets goals and trains really hard to hit them. The look on her face when she realizes she hit it, that makes me the proudest.
