My name is Marisa Johnson! I am 23 years old and am a professional tennis coach. I have been playing competitively for 14 of those years, which has taught me so much mentally and physically. There are so many lessons I’ve been taught being a competitive athlete and I try to share my thoughts through these posts. I am completely in love and obsessed with tennis! I have lived a very happy and healthy life by staying active and treating my body with care mentally, physically and spiritually. I want to share all that I know! Hopefully, I can inspire and motivate you to be the best you can be!
