About this episode
In this episode, Torrey Hawkins, Trent Bryde, and Alvin Owusu dive into the personal journeys that shape a tennis player’s growth—from early coaching and mentorship to the grind of international competition. They reflect on pivotal moments, mental breakthroughs, and the lessons learned both on and off the court. The conversation explores how community, coaching, and peer support foster not only athletic development but also resilience and character. Trent shares honest reflections on his transition from junior tennis to the pro circuit, how those experiences inform his success in business today, and why hard work in tennis, as in life, doesn’t always guarantee a win. The trio also tackles the evolving landscape of the sport—new formats, the challenges young players face, and the crucial roles that parents and coaches play in nurturing both passion and competitive drive. It’s a thoughtful, behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to grow through the game. Send us a text
