I went from being one of the best players in New England to middle of the pack at a top academy. My classmates are from all over the world, including China, India and Venezuela. I work hard to keep pace, dedicate extra time with coaches and appreciate the structured time for our academic classes. These experiences have helped me to learn more than the game of tennis: balance, commitment, nutrition, preparation and teamwork. More importantly, these experiences have helped me believe in myself and look at challenges as opportunities. I would like to encourage other girls and women to build confidence and work toward their

While my athleticism developed, I neglected honing my mental strength, leading me to not achieve my potential during matches.

The organization was known as the Prince George’s Tennis and Education Foundation. It was here where I began to make my largest strides in my life, both academically and athletically.

With the start of the second set, my outlook became slightly more positive. Though my newfound optimism allowed my frustration to subside, I was still unable to close the points. At the first switchover, I found myself down 3-1. Words of wisdom from my trainers were playing on a loop in my thoughts. Pivot, step into the shot, attack the net. I used these thoughts to maintain composure as I gained my first lead at 4-3. Being just two points away, I could almost taste the victory. I took the court with the most confidence in my shots that I had felt the entire match. However, my confidence was not enough to gain the set. Falling to 4-5, I was unsure of what approach to take to keep the set alive. One game was enough to change the outcome of the entire match.

Although not the most outspoken, Stewart put value into every word; he taught us to forget everything except your goals on the tennis court. With David, we learned that being “the man” wasn’t about taking care of overheads, but taking care of your team. In Mark we found an incredibly determined player; he showed us the importance of bringing passion to the court.

Although a man of few words, Josh’s daily hard work and focus taught us to leave our regret and focus on the present.

Scott was always supportive and encouraging. He taught us that staying positive in the face of stress was more important than the score. With Evan, it wasn’t about playing, it

It is, for me, an arduous study that requires relentless experimentation. It requires the perfect balance of power and finesse, endurance and spurts of strength, but most of all, unwavering focus. Strangely, in the sweaty frenzy of a match, with the sun baking and peeling the skin off my arms (it happens a lot) and the blisters swelling and bursting on my ankles, my mind settles into a lagoon of unbreakable calm, and I am at peace. A sanctuary and a laboratory, the court is where I belong, where I can push myself and my team to the furthermost physical and mental level, develop strategies, and find satisfaction in triumph through adversity: the most delicious of all triumphs. More than that, I have found each match I play, little by little, punctures the stereotype of the weak female nerd, if not simply the weak female: no longer do people say that I run fast, for a girl, that I serve well, for a girl, that I hit hard, for a girl. Through tennis, I silently dare the world to see me raw--not just as scholar, just an athlete, just a girl, but a creature undaunted by limits: a thinker, a challenger, an
