When I think back on my time with the tennis program at MTSU, there are so many memories that come to mind that helped shape who I am today. However, what I think Title IX and the opportunity to play college tennis gave me are some of the values and characteristics I use every day to help me succeed in not only my career, but in life.
The first and perhaps most important value is leadership. Growing up, I got to see many different leadership styles through soccer, swimming and tennis but getting to play with so much talent at MTSU where I can honestly say that just about everyone on the team was a better player than myself, I got to truly learn that there is no "I" in team.
