24 - Katri Koehle talks about camaraderie, competition, and career in midlife rec tennis

Sideline Sisters

Katri is an avid club player and certified tennis junkie. Katri lives by the mantra of, “Do whatever it takes to keep tennis fun. Sometimes it is playing more, sometimes it is buying a new tennis skirt.” Sportsmanship and fair play are of utmost importance, and promotion of the game of tennis is paramount.
Katri is a native Texan, living in the mountains of Utah.
Katri's Notes from the Sidelines:

1. Tennis gives people a reason to come up and talk to you -- it's an invitation.
2. Tennis is an opportunity to work through challenges in your personal life.
3. There is such a thing as positive drama in tennis, and it looks like intensity in competition.
4. Tennis can be healing for someone who has heartache or emotional distress in their life; they can use tennis as an outlet to make friends, feel better, get exercise, or even get sunshine.
5. Katri lives by the mantra, "You do whatever it takes to keep tennis fun." There are so many options with tennis, from drills at the club, hitting balls on the local courts, going on tennis vacations, to playing competitive leagues. Do what makes you happy to keep tennis in your life always.
6. When Katri sat with the thought of, "What's the worst thing that could happen," she realized losing was the worst thing, and then her anxiety surfaced and she could conquer it and move forward with joy.
7. Use your words to stick up for yourself.
8. There is something about being creative that is healing.
9. Try to have a good sense of humor and don't take yourself too seriously.
