Tripp talks with sophomore Carden Proffitt about  playing tennis at Country Day, how he avoided burning out, and gives advice on college recruitment. You'll also hear from Country Day head tennis coach Calvin Davis about the early days of Tripp's career and characteristics he looks for in his current athletes.  Listen in on conversations with seasoned athletes and current tennis players at our school.
