All Day I Dream about Sports

Everything that I wear, from my t-shirts, shorts, socks, and even my sweat bands has to have those perfect three lines shaped into that perfect three sided triangle. You may wonder why I have to match brands from my head to my toes, and  it may be that I am obsessive compulsive, or that I just like the number three because even the brand name has three syllables. Ultimately, I like to match, and I like to express my love for sports. This is why I can only and will only wear adidas.

It's Time for Tennis!

I remember counting down the hour to the weekend every day during the week throughout middle school. It wasn't because school was out for the weekend, or that I could sleep in. It was because the weekend meant it was tennis tournament time. I never missed a tournament on a weekend, and I always wanted to compete . I got to travel to different places in the Mid-Atlantic region and show that I wanted to be the best and win. Every weekend brought different results and emotions, but it always brought me the drive to get better.

A Place Of Growth

I grew up in Potomac, Maryland with my loving family and dog. However, home for me has always been a place where a person can grow. That place is and will always be the tennis court. It is where I learned to compete. Tennis helped me learn how to take losses maturely and to stay humble when winning. Although I suffered from a life-changing injury several years ago and am unable to play tennis at a competitive level, I now coach tennis. As I coach tennis to kids, I get to watch them grow just as I did through tennis.
