Empowering Women in Tennis
Recently, I stumbled upon an article that caught my eye. It was about a leadership program called the Pacific Women and Girls in Tennis – Emerging Leaders workshop. This amazing event took place in Fiji and brought together eleven talented women from the Pacific region to learn, grow, and connect with each other. The workshop is part of Tennis Australia’s broader mission to empower women and girls in tennis by creating opportunities for them to develop their skills, build confidence, and become leaders within the sport. Initiatives like this workshop are crucial for fostering a more inclusive and supportive community within the sport.
Outstanding Academic Achievements
But that’s not all I also came across some incredible news about outstanding scholars who are truly making waves. At ATA College Prep, students like Fate MacAlasdair, Cole Kilian, and Michael Malyshev have been recognized for their academic excellence. They were named Commended by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation and scored among the top 50,000 students in the nation on the 2023 PSAT. Additionally, Fate and Michael were named semi-finalists in this year’s scholarship competition, scoring among the top 16,000 student test-takers in the nation. These recognitions are a testament to their long-term dedication to study and hard work.
