So in practice , it's also really important to focus on that . I think a lot of the challenges that I faced throughout my tennis career are injuries in high school . I think my first major injury was my Achilles , and that took about 8 months to recover from .
I think from playing at the college level , I've become a much better tennis player because everyone at this level is very talented and works extremely hard to get to where they are today . So there's no match that is not extremely challenging . And I think it's really taught me how to problem solve on the court , how to figure out different opponents and how to really strategize and work with my coaches in order to get wins .
And You have to make sure that you are enjoying it every part of the way , or the entire experience just will not be as fun as it seems . It is very tough , but The fun and exciting parts are absolutely the best , and I think it is extremely worth the hard work that you will put in . I think just do everything that you can to get here and then really enjoy it .
And that's something that I really wanted and a coach . And Also , Northwestern is an absolutely great academic school , which I think will help me a lot in life and challenge it has challenged me a lot throughout my years here . Also , it being so close to Chicago gives us so many opportunities to have fun and go explore a big city that's really exciting and has absolutely everything .
I also have had like major foot problems that Have been just really annoying and nagging and have put me through like 6 different boots . Um , and I think that injuries just come up very frequently for me , but I think it's definitely taught me how to overcome them and how to come back tougher . During recruiting in high school , I really didn't know where I wanted to go to college .
