Dear Trinity Squash Community,
As my time on this team comes to an end, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for everything this journey has meant to me. When I first came to Trinity not knowing anything about college squash, I never thought this place would reignite my passion for the sport that we all love so dearly.
Coming from high school, I was struggling a lot with finding a purpose to all the hard work, long hours, and exhausting routines that I have been pursuing my whole life. Then I got to Trinity and, almost immediately, was reminded of why I started doing all of this in the first place. All the grueling practices, the tough matches, and the traveling has brought me back to my old self. The version of me that would leave it all on court and would do her best to help the team in any way she can. This team has taught me resilience, compassion, empathy, what being a team really is, and has helped me regain my confidence. For all of that and more, I will always be grateful.
To my teammates, thank you for your support, encouragement, laughs, advice, and for making every moment memorable. To our coaches, past and present, thank you for your guidance, support, and dedication. You have not only helped shape my athletic skills, but also my character.
I'll never forget the thrill of all of us watching the deciding match and cheering on the last woman standing like our lives depended on it. I'll never forget the laughs on the bus, in the locker room, and at practice. Most of all, I will never forget the feeling of winning a national championship with my family. That day will always be one of the highlights of my squash career.
This team has been like a family to me, and I'm so grateful for every moment we've shared on and off the court.
None of this would be possible without our alumni, families, and friends of Trinity squash, so thank you for keeping this family functional. We wouldn't be here without you.
