Description
Episode 238: This week, Nat’s back in Charlotte for a long-awaited girls trip to show her Miami besties around her hometown. Between their busy itinerary, she’s sitting down (for a second time, gotta love technical difficulties!) with her dear friend Chanelle Van Nguyen to chat about the ins and outs of their whirlwind friendship and her journey as a pro tennis player. They first dive into the hilarious way they met and how incredibly different they are from one another in the best ways. Chanelle then opens up about her upbringing and the early days of her tennis career, from the strict training and homeschooling to eventually joining UCLA's tennis team. She touches on the costs of going pro, both financially and personally, and where her tennis career stands today. Finally, Chanelle shares some sage advice for aspiring young athletes, emphasizing the importance of balance and the exciting book she is working on! It's a hilarious and inspiring convo you won't want to miss.
