THPod 2.30: Road Trip to Indiana with Magda Kornijczuk

Join us on the podcast's first ever Road Trip, which takes us to Indiana, deep in the US Midwest, where we find young Hampshire tennis star Magda Kornijczuk at the very beginning of a two-year tennis journey at the University of Indianapolis. 

Magda shares her journey from the UK to the US, some of the cultural differences, the intensity of college tennis, and the supportive environment of her team. She reflects on her training, competitions, and the importance of mindset in sports. Magda also offers advice for aspiring players considering college tennis in the US and shares her experiences with team dynamics and rivalries.
