Athletic Information

Krista has a great love and talent for athletics and competition. Krista was formally a competitive gymnast, competing at high levels and participating in the USA Gymnastics Talent Opportunity Program at the national level. After retiring from gymnastics, Krista explored and excelled in various sports. While participating in an introductory tennis drills program, Krista fell in love with the sport of tennis. She later discovered and joined Atlanta Tennis Inc. at the age of 15, where she has quickly accelerated in the sport under the excellent coaching of Danny Carlson, Jimmy Petit, and Colt Gaston.

On the court, Krista is known for her speed, coordination, and coachability. A great team player, Krista encourages and motivates other with her positive attitude and excellent work ethic. She is a mentally strong player and exhibits a never-give-up attitude, which has enabled her to beat seeded and higher ranked opponents. She is a right-handed, high-energy player with good reflexes and a strong forehand. Comfortable at both the baseline and the net, her speed and footwork allow her to reach and return almost all shots.

In addition to playing tennis tournaments on the weekends, Krista currently practices approximately 12 hours per week, including two private lessons and four drill sessions. During the next year, Krista will continue to raise the level of her tennis game, playing in Bullfrogs and other higher level tournaments as she works towards her goal of playing tennis at the college level.
