Diego Nunez
Hi, My name is Diego Nunez and I am from the Sacramento area in Northern California. I've played sports most of my life and started tennis about three years ago. Since then, I've not only grown as a tennis player but also as a person. My life would not be what it is today if it weren't for this sport and the lifelong friends that I have made through tennis. I am truly honored to be part of this charitable organization that has introduced tennis to so many kids across the world. I'm lucky in that I've always been able to have rackets and equipment at my disposal. But a lot of people don't, which keeps them from experiencing the fun of tennis. It is my commitment to help underserved kids not only in my community but across the world through tennis.

I am beyond excited to be working with the Second Serve foundation to give back to underprivileged junior players in our community! Tennis has taught me many lessons such as sportsmanship, how to handle pressure, decision making skills, and much more. I think that it is important that others learn these important skills as well. By providing these kids with equipment they are also gaining opportunities to make new friends and have fun!

Tennis is a big part of my life and has taught me many valuable lessons. I realize there are many people in this world that can benefit from this sport but are not able to because they do not have the means. Donating to these kids to give them a chance is something that I have been wanting to do so that they can enjoy tennis just as I do.

The life lessons that I have learned from tennis have given me the ability to perform when life gets through and never give up no matter what. I believe that every child, no matter what their background, should be given this opportunity in life through playing tennis. This is the very reason why being an advocate for Second Serve tennis plays such an important role within myself.

Hi my name is Sarah MacCallum and tennis has been a major part of my life for almost 9 years. With tennis, I have had access to so many great opportunities, and I have developed friendships that will last a lifetime. I recognize that I live a very privileged tennis life. If my racket cracks, I get a new one. If there is a hole in my bag, I replace it. If my strings break, I go to my stringer and she has it done in the blink of an eye. Meanwhile, there are millions of kids all around the world who want to play tennis but are not able to because the equipment is too expensive. I want to be a part of this program that lights up these kids' faces and brings joy into their lives. I cannot wait to be a part of something so great!

I have been playing tennis for as long as I can remember. It has kept me physically fit and healthy, plus teaches me to be mentally tough enough to keep striving towards whatever goal I
put my mind to. I am excited to be a part of Second Serve because I believe that they stand for a great cause: helping other kids be able to experience the benefits and community of tennis too, who might not otherwise be able to afford this expensive sport. I wish all kids could feel the
joy I feel every time I step onto a court.

SOFIA RUHR
Las Vegas, Nevada
My name is Sofia and I am 14 years old. I recently moved to North Las Vegas from Southern California. I have been playing tennis for over 7 years and love it! Tennis is such an amazing sport that you can play anywhere, any time and with anyone. It’s fun, challenging and a great all around exercise that makes you feel good physically and mentally.
I think it’s so important to give back and I know there is so much waste so when I found this organization, I was so happy. As kids, we grow out of our clothes and gear so fast and being able to give those gently used equipment to other kids who are less fortunate or don’t have as much access to tennis is amazing.

TANVI NARENDRAN
Tuscon, Arizona
Hi my name is Tanvi Narendran! I'm a junior at University High School in Tucson, Arizona. I got into tennis because of my dad, and I started playing when I was about 9. Now, I aspire to be the best tennis player that I can be. Fortunately, I have my dad to share his experience with me, I have access to the clubs and equipment I need to be able to strive towards that goal. Unfortunately, not everyone has these opportunities and I am looking forward to being a part of something that helps provide people with the opportunities they need to be able to work towards their goals! Tennis has given me so much, and those who don't have the same opportunities I do deserve that too. I am thrilled to be a part of Second Serve and help make that difference!

TSEHAY DRISCOLL
La Canada Flintridge, California
I've played tennis ever since I could remember; it's been my life. I honestly wouldn’t be who I am today if it wasn’t for tennis. Tennis has helped me make long lasting friendships with people all over the world. I wanted to join Second Serve because about 2 years ago I was in Rwanda playing some tennis and I saw first hand how privileged I was playing tennis in America with my newly painted courts and net that didn’t have holes. In Rwanda the kids were playing with shoes 2 sizes too big and rackets that were 10 years old. Seeing all that made me want to give back and put smiles on kids faces.

AADI HURIA
Detroit, Michigan
Tennis has taught me to set goals and challenge myself to achieve my personal best. I believe that every kid, who has the desire to play, should have the opportunity to enjoy and benefit from tennis just like I have. I love the idea of making tennis more affordable for kids who love the sport. Players grow out of their tennis rackets and other accessories quickly; their gently used gear will give underprivileged kids the opportunity to be successful people and players. Second Serve has provided me with an excellent avenue for making a positive impact on people and the sport of tennis globally.

Tennis has opened many opportunities for me such as meeting new friends, developing a strong mental game, and friendly competition with others. It has also taught me many valuable life lessons such as discipline and hard work. Tennis is a mental game and often times one will get discouraged or down on themselves but learning from these situations, make you a strong person and player. Tennis has made me a better person on and off the courts. I am thrilled to be able to help spread the love of tennis and help others out by providing them with the gear needed to play tennis. I am ecstatic to be a part of this team and can not wait to make a difference in the world today!

I have been playing tennis since the age of seven and currently enjoy playing for my highschool team.

I'm very happy to become a part of Second Serve team in the following reasons. I always want to help to uplift young children especially many here For me as Ben I love being and working with young children I love seeing them smiling and very happy I think when I'm part of Second Serve I hope to introduce tennis to many children here in Western Uganda or elsewhere from Uganda because they find joy through tennis and feel that passion of the game. Thank you so much! You're only as good as your Second Serve.

GARY PIERRE
Haiti
Hello everyone!
I'm a former nationally ranked #3 tennis player from Port - Au - Prince, Haiti. I played #1 singles and doubles tennis in college, where I'm also getting a degree in International Business. Coming from an underprivileged background, tennis has opened so many doors for me. Some of those opportunities included: playing ITF tournaments, representing at the U.S. Open as a guest of Katrina Adam (USTA President) and David Haggerty (ITF President), and training at the No Quit Tennis Academy. My success in tennis has allowed me to travel to countries in the Pacific, Caribbean, and North America. I continued my success by earning a full scholarship to attend college. I've always been passionate about community services, especially in sports. My goal in joining this team is to help grow Second Serve so that we can reach more underdogs who are passionate about tennis and provide them with the resources they need to get out of poverty.

I want to join Second Serve because I am capable of introducing such a wonderful sport to more people across the globe. I always wished to provide oppurtunity for those that are unfortunate, giving everyone a chance to shine. I think it is truly dissapointing to let go of so many potential talented players plainly due to the difficult financial situation. Therefore, I would like to support the passionate people with this platform.

IRADUKUNDA DELPHIN
l started playing tennis when l was 7. Before l came in tennis l used to go to the tennis courts and watch same people playing, and l feel like l also want to play. Then my old brother took me there to start playing, so l like tennis because it's a flexible game with all parts of the body mainly mental. The reason why l help other people to play tennis is because our country still has a low number of tennis players, so l want our country to have many professional tennis players in the future. I want to give the same chance to those children who love tennis but don't have the support they need.
