Not So Little with Kendall Vertes

Kendall sits down with former tennis star turned pickleball player Genie Bouchard for a conversation that goes way deeper than sports. Genie opens up about deciding tennis was her calling at nine years old, moving to the US alone at 12 to train, and turning pro at 15. Kendall and Genie bond over what it's actually like to grow up in the spotlight. They get into identity, what it means to walk away from the only thing you've ever known, and what's waiting on the other side.

Genie also talks about competing at Wimbledon, coming back from shoulder surgery, and retiring on her own terms in her hometown. Plus the lie she told at a bar about her job, Baby Shark on a workout playlist, and her ultimate athlete crush.
