Career: How I Became a Tennis Pro
I never knew the answer, " What do you want to be when you grow up?" I knew what I didn't want to be and finding my niche took some time. In the long run, my career was right in front of me. Teaching tennis is the greatest feeling in the world.
My family did not go to college and for me, not going was not an option. I knew I had to pay for college on my own, so in my Junior year in high school, I made a goal to get a tennis scholarship. Two years after teaching at the park and rec, I got a job teaching tennis at a country club. In my senior year, I worked my way up to #2 ranking in the state of Wisconsin. That opened doors for me and I went on a couple recruiting visits. I had offers to schools in Michigan and Illinios, but being close to family was important to me. I ended up playing on a full tuition tennis scholarship for the University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee. There I played both #1 and #2 singles/ doubles all four years. Since I was still close, I was able to keep my job at the country club in the summers.
I never really knew the answer to the question, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I knew things that I didn't want to be, such as a business person sitting behind a desk. However, in beginning of college, you have to choose a major that will determine your career path. As I brainstormed on what I wanted to do with my life, I came to the conclusion that it has to be a career that is hands on and deals with the body. So, I decided on a major in Kinesiology with a sub-major in athletic training. After about a month of college, I realized that athletic training was not for me and switched to a sub-major in exercise and fitness.
I really enjoyed my major in Kinesiology. It was very intense at times with all the anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics, but I really felt it was fitting for me. The only bad thing was that it was my Junior year in college and I still didn't know what I wanted to be when I grew up. My boss, who I worked for at the country club, had a second job at an indoor tennis facility during the year. He asked me to teach some of his lessons while he was away on vacation and I gladly accepted. Before I knew it, all the pros were calling me to sub for them.
Senior year came and went in the blink of an eye. I graduated with a major in Kinesiology and was happy to have been part of a Division 1 college team. The club that I was working at part time wanted to take me on full time. Summer came and I worked at the country club as usual. By fall, I had over 40 hours a week teaching privates and clinics. My major helped me tremendously in teaching tennis. I enjoyed every single second that I was on the court and it was hard to believe that it was my job. Teaching someone a new technique and seeing their faces when they did it right was an awesome feeling and brought me great happiness. My job allowed me to form bonds with my clients and watch them improve over time. I never said, "I want to be a tennis pro when I grow up," but as I was grew up, I realized that was exactly what I wanted to be.
