Above is Caroline Wozniacki, a professional tennis player and former number one in the world. She is currently ranked top 10 in the world, and she fights for every match as hard as she can. Throughout her career, she has been faced with several obstacles. At certain points of her career, nobody believed in her, and it was often vocalized that she didn't deserve to be world ranked number one, or that she didn't have the potential to win a grand slam title. I've always admired Caroline Wozniacki for her resilience. Despite what everyone had to say about her, her tennis, and her personal life, she has remained positive, put her head down and just kept working. She fell dramatically in the rankings after being world number one, and she climbed back up into the top ten when everyone believed her career was done. I feel as though I can relate to her passion for the game and her work ethic. Although I obviously don't know her personally, the way she handles herself off the court is extremely admirable. She has always been classy, whether she comes out of matches as a winner or in defeat. I aspire to handle myself and my emotions during and after tennis matches as well as she does. She never speaks ill of anyone, whether it is an ex, a rival, or somebody that speaks poorly of her. I find this her most admirable and classy characteristic.
when I was younger I used to jump around from sport to sport and I was never really able to "look up" to someone, I love that she has become a role model to you and that you aspire to hold herself the way she does when it comes to tennis! I think its really important to find someone that inspires you in that way because you can always think to yourself, what would they do?
