Looking Beyond Athletics

Playing college tennis was a great experience and one I am always grateful for. But as you go through college you realize that the adult freedom you’re excited for isn’t really freedom at all. If you’re lucky you’ll have good coaches and staff to support you and make college what it’s really supposed to be about.

However, it’s not uncommon that we suddenly find ourselves playing through injuries because the coaches recommend you too, skipping classes to put athletics first, among many other disruptive things. I will always recommend future athletes take a lot of time during the recruiting process and speak to a wide variety of people. Don’t be afraid to stand up for your education and look for resources outside of athletics.
