Winner Spotlight

NJTL Essay Contest Winner 2022

Like Mayor Dinkins, I am convinced that tennis develops positive qualities in players. You gain confidence when you get to a point. In your tennis career when you've experienced many failures, setbacks and successes, you begin to learn and understand what is possible. You gain character because there are many ways to express yourself in tennis. You show sportsmanship when you say good game even if you lost. You learn how to display good teamwork in doubles when you work together, communicate, and help each other win the match.
