Statement: “A quote that I love is ‘no rain, no flowers.’ One of my favorite professional women’s tennis players, Marketa Vondrousova has that quote tattooed on her arm, which inspired me to get it tattooed as well. This quote is so simple, but its meaning is very powerful to me. Sometimes the good times cannot come without the bad times and we must persevere. Not only can I reside with this quote in my everyday life, but it especially means a lot to me in regards to my sport. Tennis is a sport with no clock, so even if you start poorly, you can still come back no matter what, and this season especially I have had to have that mentality.”
Our goal with Brewers Ballin’ is to feature Vassar athletes who starred for their team the week previous to publishing. If you would like to nominate an athlete, please email nvillamil@vassar.edu.
