Tennis Background I started playing tennis about three years ago, and had never picked up a racquet in my life previous to that. I used to play football(D-3 College), and baseball(high school); therefore competition and athletics have always been in my blood. After taking a few lessons and playing non-stop, I tried out for the local Ju-Co team. I have now completed two seasons playing for the Alan Hancock College Tennis team. I still play quite often, and have done well in local tournaments at the 4.5-5.0 level.
