## Resource

In this Talk Tennis episode, host Michelle sits down with Carolyn and teammate Erin from the Second Serve Pod to share how tennis built resilience, hope, and community all while battling Breast Cancer. Life changes after a breast cancer diagnosis. In this episode, we hear how these tennis players found strength in the sport and how it related to their cancer treatments. In this inspiring conversation, Michelle, Carolyn, and Erin open up about how tennis became more than a game — it became a lifeline. You’ll hear how the lessons learned on the court — perseverance, teamwork, and focus — helped them face cancer head-on and discover new ways to stay connected, even when they couldn’t play. At Talk Tennis, we believe the power of sport extends far beyond competition. This episode celebrates the way tennis teaches resilience, builds friendships, and unites a community through every challenge — on and off the court.
