After playing the best tennis match of my life here at Otisville, one of the campers who watched the whole match says to me with another friend watching, “You are the most consistent player here”.

Playing tennis in a prison camp comes with its own type of pressure. Dozens of campers are usually walking around the entire campus while you are playing tennis and some campers retrieve balls for us.
