This holiday episode will not only give you ALL of the warm and fuzzies, but also is a recap from the Pete Brown Junior Tennis Program Holiday Event that I went to in Los Angeles! Enjoy some onsite interviews; I was overwhelmed by stories of kindness, love and gratitude. After everyone at the event was so thankful for all Tennis Warehouse has helped with, I was feeling super grateful to be a part of this company. So, I wanted my colleagues to help explain what makes working at Tennis Warehouse so special. They also talk about why they love the sport of tennis and what the holidays mean to them!
