“I loved being an athlete,” Stuhlmann said. “Playing college tennis taught me many qualities—time management, work ethic, and resilience. I was super disciplined with my training and workout routines, and once I finished playing in college, I transferred that into my professional career. Now instead of preparing and training for big tennis matches, I focus on everything I have going on in my professional life and how I can best show up for all the various work I do within the sport!” Here’s a look at some notable photos of Stuhlmann.
