Eleanor Nobbs, senior, and Hannah Smith, junior, join us in the Blue Demon Room to talk about DePaul's close-knit Women's Tennis team and how their bond has led them to success on and off the court. From positive self-talk to learning how to communicate with teammates, Smith and Nobbs give us a behind-the-scenes look at the mental game of tennis. The two also hail from England, so we also discuss what tennis culture is like across the pond and why they love playing collegiate tennis in the United States!
