AT TENNIS GAC'S, LYDIA HAD A MATCH AGAINST A HOLT PLAYER. THEY WERE A 'PERFECTLY' MATCHED DUO - LONG RALLIES, BEAUTIFULLY PLACED SHOTS, STRONG SERVES. SO THE MATCH WAS A NAIL BITER, BUT WHAT MADE THIS MY FAVORITE MATCH OF THE SEASON WAS HOW BOTH ATHLETES SHOWED GREAT INTEGRITY.
AT THIS PARTICULAR MATCH, WINNING MOVES YOU TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP AND LOSING ENDS YOUR TOURNAMENT. THROUGHOUT THIS SEASON I'VE SEEN MANY CLOSE CALLS THAT WERE WRONGLY CALLED OUT. BUT IN THIS MATCH WITH SO MANY CLOSE CALLS, BOTH GIRLS JUST KEPT PLAYING A HARD FOUGHT MATCH. LYDIA HUSTLED, MOVED HER OPPONENT FROM SIDE TO SIDE, AND LANDED THE SHOTS ON THE LINES.
I AM SO PROUD OF HOW LYDIA PLAYS TENNIS BECAUSE IT IS A SNAPSHOT OF WHO SHE IS AS A PERSON.
LYDIA IS ALSO INVOLVED IN ORCHESTRA, SOCCER, FCA, HOSA, AND NHS.
LYDIA SAYS INTEGRITY IS BEING IN THE MOMENT AND NOT LETTING ANYTHING AFFECT YOU. IT'S BEING KIND AND BEING HONEST.
