Owl Letters - Louie McLelland

Collegiate athletics came to a halt in mid-March. With social distancing, remote work schedules and the inability to gather to cheer on our favorite teams, came a void. The void of seeing our favorite teams compete; the void of watching our favorite student-athletes grow and improve.
Â
Florida Atlantic athletics recognizes that void and has seized the opportunity by providing an opportunity for fans to get to know the FAU athletes and coaches in a series called "Owl Letters." It is just one of the #WinningInParadise series that FAUSports.com will bring to you, our loyal fans.
Dear Tennis,
You have taught me so much from a young age, not only a love and an appreciation for tennis, but for all sports. You have taught me how to keep going when it gets tough, and practicing day-in and day-out has helped me learn discipline and hard work. Matches always give me an option to learn more. I feel like I have learned how to fight and give everything I have and to never give up. I continue to learn all of this daily. Tennis has taught me how to be independent, and especially since coming to college, it has taught me how to be a part of a team too and has given me a family. I will forever be grateful for the endless amount of lessons and skills tennis has given me.
