I would like to congratulate Monica on her induction into the
International Tennis Hall of Fame. I had the opportunity to work with Monica
for a brief period in 1998 and 99. What a wonderful person, a terrific role
model for the young female athlete. She was a great athlete, very quick and
explosive. It was very interesting talking to her about her training with her
father who was a triple jumper, as a youngster she trained very athletically
and explosively with plyo’s and medicine balls. I know that she was an
inspiration to my daughter and will continue to inspire further generations of
female athletes.
