“Tennis, for me, was a spring board to get me to my final goal: becoming a doctor…. At Servite, I was in the top 8% of my class academically taking mostly AP and honors classes throughout my four years. At Notre Dame I made the Dean’s list my senior year. I am currently in medical school at the Univ. of St. Georges where I am in the honors society.”
“…Not only did Elson stress the importance of practicing hard in tennis, but he also emphasized the significance of studying hard in school… Elson has been very influential in my life both athletically and academically.”
