I was top three in the Grand Prix back then and used to say I could take a game off a woman pro (this actually used to be something we would talk about) and then I got to get on the court with a few once I was in college. And I got much taller, stronger in my senior year of HS. I then realized that all the smack talk back in the day was just that. I am telling you they are better than you think. They get paid thousands of dollars to play for a reason.

I was top 5 in LA in u14. Top 30 in south.
I was 6-8 in LA In u16.

I quit when I was about 16.
I played against a lot of the men and some of the women at LSU. I beat a couple of them here and there but not overall.

I practiced against a woman who made a couple of small pro tourneys and was 8 years removed. At 16, I was lucky to get 2 games.
