Tennis is my favorite activity. I’ve been involved in tennis since I was a little kid, growing up in Switzerland. And here at HPU, I am able to continue to play: With proper training, helpful coaches, and our great HPU team, I can play the game and try as hard as I can.
Balancing tennis with my study at HPU isn’t easy; however, whenever I see people with the passion and desire to play, it inspires me. Additionally, after spending time on the tennis court, I feel more relaxed and can more effectively deal with school-related stresses.
Playing tennis at HPU is a great thing in my life. I like that it brings together people from all around the world. The greatest part is that, once you’re out on a tennis court, it’s all even.
