And so I was losing a lot more than I was winning really in tournament play.

So that's not really good when you already are putting your value based on your performance and in that sport.

So my tennis career, I wouldn't say like help.

It probably made my feeling of not feeling enough

Greater, not better.

That was my Achilles tendon injury.

And, but that was actually turned out to be like a great blessing because I wasn't going to become a pro tennis player yet.

I was organizing my life as if I was.

And then when I had that injury and I wasn't able to play for eight months, it really had me rethink, well, what do I want to do with my life?

And what am I doing to build on my future?

And I ended up starting my first business.

And it was a laundry business.

And I learned a lot.

And we grew it, surprisingly, we grew it to like five universities.

And it got so big that I had to drop out of college because I had 40 employees.

And I was like 18 years old.

But I never would have probably started that business if that injury didn't happen.

So I actually look back on it as a blessing in reality.

It was really a beautiful moment.

I'll never forget it.
