Off Season ????

This is a pic from the US Open tournament I played in. It was a BEAUTIFUL day!

So, the AVP season has technically only been over for a week, but that's only for the top like 10 teams. All of the qualifier girls and the lower seeded Main Draw teams have been done with AVP tournaments for about a month now. One might think to themselves, "Hm, I bet these girls take a good month or two off before they start working out and training again," right? False, since my season has been "over" I have had just as many people, if not more, calling to train/practice/play/get lessons! I thought I would be ahead of the curve because I was going to work out all off season and not take any breaks, but now I know why these girls know so much about the game... they NEVER stop playing!

Anyway, it's been really awesome because I was afraid I'd have trouble finding people to train with, but it's actually been way easier! In all of the training that has come up recently I've met some new really good players, which is awesome! Another really great part of the "off season" training is that I got to work out with Liz Masakayan who coached Elaine Youngs and Nicole Branagh for the last year or so! Yes, that means she coached them during the Olympics! How cool is that? So, I got a lesson from her on Monday and I'll be going to another lesson tomorrow. Really exciting stuff!

I hope everything is going well for everyone! More updates soon!
