Although I am not a college athlete, I still love to follow and play sports. Raised in Georgia since the 4th grade, I am an Atlanta sports fan and I always will be.  Even though my preferred sports to watch are baseball, basketball, and football, my sport is tennis.  I played high school varsity tennis my sophomore, junior, and senior years and we were state runner-ups my junior and senior years.  I played second line doubles  during my sophomore year.  My partner was Biola Brinson.  It was a fun year, but we did not make it far in the state championship and I still had a lot of room for improvement in my game.  The next year, I played second line doubles again because our line one doubles team was one of the best in the state.  That year, I was given the award of Most Improved Player and we lost in the finals of state and were runner-ups.  My senior year, I was co-captain and Biola and I played line one doubles and had a lot of chemistry from playing together.  Once again, we lost in the finals of the state championship, this time to our rival.  While still an accomplishment, this was a disappointment for me becuase I wouldn't get another chance, and for the underclassmen because they knew it was the last year we would be good.  Overall I had a great experience being on the tennis team.  We all got along great, we won regions every year, and I enjoy playing to this day.

 

 

 

Although I have never played anything else on a serious level, I enjoy playing all sports, particularly basketball and golf.  There are two aspects of sports that contribute to my love for playing them: competition and exercise.  Any form of competition is always fun and I personally hate to work out, so sports are an awesome way for me to stay in shape.
