Meet Elena. She was a professional Italian tennis player starting at the young age of 14. She traveled internationally competing for the next four years of her life until she yearned for consistency, schooling, and time with her family.
We met her fiance a few years ago while vacationing in Italy. And thanks to technology and strong friendships, we’ve been able to reconnect here in SF. {Both our boys are in the tech world. That’s an entirely different story}
She’s teaching here in the Bay Area, and was kind (and patient) enough to give me a lesson! I played tennis when I was very young, and I mess around with Mick every so often, but to actually have a lesson from the best was amazing! Elena was so patient with me and taught me so much in such a short time. I actually feel pretty confident in myself! Although, I’m sure once I play with someone not teaching and getting excited for me, I’ll feel otherwise. I definitely have the tennis bug now and am itching to play with someone! It’ll only be a matter of time before you see me in one of those cute tennis outfits…
Elena charges way too low for her lessons, but if you’re interested I’d love to connect you.
