Lucky for you, Anthony had the chance to sit down with Joey Jr., and hear all about his journey on and off the court. In our chat, Joey talks to us about his college tennis career, and the unique challenges that come with automatically being put in the USTA 5.0 category after college.

While Joey's talents on the court are nothing short of impressive, his off-court skills deserve some limelight too. We explore his grad school experience at USC, where he studied sports writing under the mentorship of former LA Times writers and Heisman voters. Joey shares how the ever-evolving landscape of sports media has led to a more competitive job market but also opened doors to creating your own opportunities.

One thing we can all learn from Joey is his strategic thinking and self-reflection on the tennis court. Throughout our conversation, we discuss the importance of applying pressure, going in at the net, and understanding your opponent. Joey explains why believing in yourself is vital to achieving success and shares how he incorporates writing to maintain his mental focus.
