“Amber is one of the most committed, hard-working individuals on and off the tennis court. She is punctual, reliable, and trustworthy. As an athlete, Amber is a great teammate and works well with anyone she is assigned to, and she was able to make new teammates feel welcome,” Coach Adam Cocke said. “Amber is the perfect role model, and over my 15 years in education and coaching, I have never coached anyone with as much class or grace. I am incredibly proud to have had her in my program, and I am confident that she will go on to achieve amazing things in her career.”
