Your League Tennis Podcast

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Therese for a heartfelt conversation, reminiscing about our shared love for tennis and exploring the impact sports had on her upbringing. We delved into the physical nature of soccer, how it develops skills useful in other sports like tennis, and how her father encouraged his five children to participate in sports, leading to Therese excelling at a young age.
As our discussion continued, we navigated the world of country tennis and the class barriers that often come with it. Therese shared how her brother inspired her to pursue tennis, and how their rivalry pushed her to improve. We also touched on the importance of embracing individual personalities within sports and how the tennis landscape has evolved over the years. Finally, we tackled the emotional and mental aspects of sports, with Therese opening up about her experiences and the impact it had on her emotional development.
Throughout our conversation, we explored the importance of having a supportive community, the power of positive thinking, and how self-improvement plays not only plays a crucial role in tennis, but a crucial role in evolving as a person.
