What an amazing milestone for the tennis program!&nbsp;<span lang=\"EN-US\">I enjoyed&nbsp;the enriching and memorable relationships with every single player, both during training and in the match. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">My days in this big family only lasted for about 2 years, but limited time cannot limit the sense of belonging to this lovely family. And I am so grateful that I could be part of it. Here, I would like to extend my thanks to all of you for your consistent and strong support, which really means a lot to me. Especially, thanks to our coaches, not only for giving me this chance but more importantly, for helping me learn and grow. I felt like it was my second home.&nbsp;<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To me, the most enjoyable moments were helping&nbsp;the players make tangible progress every day, as well as to see all their hard work being well paid off in the matches. I have to say, they&nbsp;are the best tennis players I have ever met. I hope they can keep up the good work, and excel in more competitions in the days to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Name:<\/strong> Junjie Cui<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Graduated:<\/strong>\u00a0December\u00a02015<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Degree:<\/strong>\u00a0M.S.,\u00a0Sports Administration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Current Job:\u00a0<\/b>Executive Manager, Five Forces Culture &amp; Sports Development Company (Beijing, China)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Contact Email\u00a0<\/b>&#8211;\u00a0<a onclick=\"window.open('mailto:\\u0063\\u0075\\u0069\\u006a\\u0075\\u006e\\u006a\\u0069\\u0065\\u0040\\u0063\\u0068\\u0075\\u006e\\u0071\\u0069\\u0075\\u0068\\u006f\\u006e\\u0067\\u002e\\u0063\\u006f\\u006d','_blank');return false;\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.write('\\u0063\\u0075\\u0069\\u006a\\u0075\\u006e\\u006a\\u0069\\u0065\\u0040\\u0063\\u0068\\u0075\\u006e\\u0071\\u0069\\u0075\\u0068\\u006f\\u006e\\u0067\\u002e\\u0063\\u006f\\u006d');<\/script><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Best memories from your Valpo days: &nbsp; I joined&nbsp;the Valpo Men&#8217;s Tennis Team in December 2014, and we got the first tennis championship in school history together.
