Katrina Adams on making tough decisions

"The decisions that have been made in the sports world, as drastic as they may be, it's the best thing that has happened to, at least, protect those athletes and their families."

This week's episode features Katrina Adams, who has one of the most decorated resume's in the game. She gives an inside take of how the ITF is handling the coronavirus pandemic and how difficult decisions in this new era are being made.

Adams was a standout star at Northwestern, winning the NCAA doubles crown in 1987, before taking her skills to the pro tour. She would reach as high as No. 8 in doubles and No. 67 in singles, winning 20 doubles titles across an 11-year career.

After getting her foot in the door as a USTA coach, the Chicago native made her way all the way up the ladder to serve as president from 2014-18. She's currently a vice president for the ITF, executive director of the Harlem Junior Tennis and Education Program and chairman of the Fed Cup.

She shares what it's like being privy to big decisions during the coronavirus, her best advice for young professionals, what should go into the choice to turn pro, and what has helped her rule so many boardrooms.
