I met Shelby in 2017 while she was training and prehabbing a knee injury that would require surgery in 2018. This injury alone would have stopped most people right in their tracks. A tennis phenom from a young age in South Carolina, she competed and turned pro in 2010 with the (WTA) Women's Tennis Association. She has reached the ranking of 40th in the world this year with the defeat of several highly ranked players with no signs of stopping heading into 2022.

We sat down right before her departure to the Australian open to kick off the 2022 season and discussed the importance of routine, rituals and consistency. We spoke of the challenges of pursuing a professional sports career while balancing life and finding joy in every day things.  It's not always fun and games and she spoke of how many times the thought of quitting crossed her mind throughout the years of training and competing.

Faith, gratitude and developing a well rounded lifestyle has led to more experienced joy. Please enjoy the show and follow along on instagram @shelbsrogers, Facebook and twitter Shelby_rogers_ for details and highlights in Shelby's 2022 life and tennis career.
