The first couple weeks of fall practice are amazingly exciting and hectic. New players are adjusting to college life and college tennis (and in our case, they are all doing a tremendous job on court and seem to be loving Whitman), returners are honing their games knowing that the Fall USTA/ITA regionals are coming up and that midterms are around the corner and everyone is pushing themselves and the team to be the best physically, mentally and technically that we can be.
It doesn't really matter what time of year it is because week in and week out Emily contributes in so many ways. Off court, she is always leading, having fun and doing things like driving to Friday practice or volunteering her Saturday to help shuttle players for the men's ITA. She's always great on court too, but this week she did an outstanding job staying really focused in singles and doubles, bringing hers and everyone else's level up. Great work as the Whittie of the Week Em!
