This journal entry brings you, 17 year old tennis player, Rosie Sterk.

Rosie has just secured her full tennis scholarship at Montana University and I thought it would be great to chat around that process and some other tennis topics. What I wasn't prepared for was just how amazingly articulate, wise and passionate Rosie is.

We take a dive into her teenage tennis years and she gives fantastic opinions and advice on what could be done to attract and retain more female competitors. We also go through her life changing experience of being a WTA Futures Stars player at the 2019 WTA Finals in Shenzhen. It is clear to me, when Rosie spots a slightly open door, she smashes through it and maximises the opportunity.

I was blown away by Rosie in this chat. Please pass it on to your tennis friends, parents, players and coaches.
