ESSAY PROMPT

Tennis has enjoyed a giant uptick in participation during the COVID-19 pandemic growing 27.9% since 2019 over a two-year span—that’s an additional 4.9 million players!  The sport has such a rich history including so many outstanding individuals who have been inducted into the Texas Tennis Museum and Hall of Fame.  For this year’s essay contest, we would like you to select one of the Texas Tennis Hall of Fame members and write about how they inspire you to play tennis.  Perhaps it is someone you knew—whether by family relation, shared home town, college affiliation—or someone you are just learning about!  In what way to you feel connected to the Hall of Fame member and their story? Please be as specific as possible.
