Big shoutout to Dan Roque, our amazing onsite stringer at the Barnes Tennis Center!
Dan recently went above and beyond by purchasing a top-of-the-line racket from our pro shop, and gifting it to one of our AST award winners, Aby Ayon. Thank you for your kindness Dan! You are very much appreciated by Aby, her family, and all of us at Youth Tennis San Diego.
Thank you letter from Aby Ayon:
Dear Dan,
Have you ever heard that there are wonderful people on this planet? That is who you are to me. You filled my heart with wonder and excitement when you decided to give me that racket. I have to tell you it is my favorite now. When I train, it makes me feel like a great tennis player. The first win that I get from this racket will be dedicated to you. Thank you for investing in me and believing in me.
It is people like you and my Coach Santiago that make life so much better. I will continue to enjoy my racket in the happiest place on earth "the tennis courts."
Wishing you the BEST Dan! Hope one day I get to bring you some cookies to Barnes.
Ms. Abygail Ayon
