Marco Azar – JOHN HOPKINS UNIVERSITY
Playing college tennis was a decision that I made with great enthusiasm since I was encouraged by the right people. College tennis was the first time I experienced tennis as a team sport; it was unlike any of the individual tournaments I had participated in before. The sense of responsibility I felt towards my team was an incredible motivation to keep striving for improvement. Training alongside other talented individuals and all working towards the same goal, created an amazing environment of shared dedication. Also, being part of the college tennis team filled my days with structure and discipline. Learning to balance my academic responsibilities with the demands of tennis was to be a big challenge. But it was a challenge worth undertaking. It created so many memories that are a big part of who I am today.
Joan Madi – EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY
Playing college tennis in the US made the overall study abroad experience so much easier and better! The opportunity to represent my school on the tennis court created a sense of pride and camaraderie within the team. The rigorous training, competitive matches, and the support of my teammates and coaches pushes me to train harder every day. I learned a lot off and on the court but being an athlete in the US is very respected and considered unlike what it’s like being an athlete in Lebanon.
