About this episode

Hear how this city newbie went from player to team captain—the powerful use of sports in building lasting relationships. Meet Polly! When Polly first moved to Atlanta, she barely knew anyone. Then she joined her husband at a local tennis match, and everything changed. Starting right from the beginners' level, Polly took to the game, joining the beginner teams, and soon found herself part of the most encouraging and pulsating tennis community ever. Twelve years later, she is captaining teams, playing in tournaments, and just joined a pickleball league! Insights You Will Gain Tennis to Connect: How tennis clubs and leagues in Atlanta serve as great avenues to meet others, make friends, or integrate into a community. Tennis as a lifetime sport: However, what really makes Polly exemplary is that tennis can be picked up at any stage of life and remain a source of enjoyment and competition well into the future. Whether through beginning lessons or senior leagues, the court has room for everyone. Overcome preconceived fears: Polly reflected on how she was initially scared to learn the rules, from scoring to court etiquette in tennis, yet shared how the supportive natures of teammates made the learning process fun and encouraging. Opportunities for Growth: The inspiring part of Polly's journey took her from being a junior player to being a captain. Share Your Story and Be Our Next Guest!
