Okay, so, today I wanna talk about something that’s been on my mind lately – Alycia Parks and her college decision. You know, Alycia Parks, the tennis player? Yeah, that one. She’s been blowing up recently, and everyone’s been talking about her.
I first heard about her, I think it was last year? Yeah, around December 2024, I was scrolling through some sports news, and her name popped up. They were talking about her as this rising star in women’s tennis. I was like, “Alycia Parks? Who’s that?” So, naturally, I dove in.
I started watching some of her matches. Man, this girl’s got game! Her serves are, like, insane. I mean, super powerful and accurate. I was hooked. I became an instant fan. I realized that she is just a young girl and started to follow everything about her journey.
Then I found this podcast, I think it’s called the “* Podcast”, and her dad, Michael Parks, was on it. He was talking about how Alycia and her sister got into tennis because they were good at school. Can you believe that? Good grades led to tennis. I mean, how cool is that? So, of course, I’m even more invested now.
Then I went on a full-on deep dive. I found out her full name is Alycia Michelle Parks, born on December 31, 2000. So young! And get this, she’s already a pro. It got me thinking, she’s probably around the same age as a lot of college kids, right? It reminded me of when I had to make my own college decision. I remember spending weeks, maybe even months, just weighing the pros and cons. It felt like the biggest decision of my life at the time.
I start wondering about her sponsors. Turns out, she was with Nike, a big name, you know? But then, bam! She switched to Asics. I was surprised! But hey, it’s her career, her choice.
Thinking about Alycia’s journey just makes me think about how different everyone’s path is. Like, she’s out there, smashing tennis balls, and I’m here, writing about it. But you know what? It’s all good. We all have our own things.
I guess what I’m trying to say is, making big decisions is tough, whether you’re a rising tennis star or just a regular person like me. But it’s all part of the journey, right? And following along with Alycia Parks’s has been pretty fun, not gonna lie.
I think I will continue to follow Alycia’s career. Who knows, maybe one day she becomes a tennis legend, and she will be an inspiration for millions of people.
