Season 3: Episode 48: Lessons from a Pro Tennis Athlete, Coco Vandeweghe

Coco Vandeweghe grew up playing every sport her older brother did. But at 13, her Grandfather sat her down and asked her which sport she wanted to pursue with focus. She chose tennis and turned pro at 16. She learned a lot of life lessons on (and off) the tennis court. Raised by a single mom, she shares pearls of wisdom she received from her grandfather, eloquence from her grandmother and fire and grit from her mother. At 30 years old, she’s a warrior on the court having been ranked as high as #9 back in 2018. Then learning how to listen to her body to overcome a potentially career ending injury. Coco was a wonderfully insightful guest and a truly inspirational, take no prisoners, peak performer. You can find her on Twitter and IG: @CocoVandey
