JTCC Alumni Feature
JTCC would like to recognize three accomplished former students and in particular what they have gone onto achieve since leaving JTCC.
Eleanor Peters (Class of 2006)
Eleanor trained at JTCC from 1999-2006 and was named All- Metropolitan player of the year in 2005. After graduating from Georgetown Visitation
High School in 2006, she continued her education at the University of Maryland, then transferred to Syracuse University in New York after her sophomore year. While at Maryland, Eleanor, alongside Marianne Baker, won the Flight A doubles
event at the Maryland Invitational.
After earning her Bachelor's degree in Political Science and Management from Syracuse, she played professional tennis for two years and reached
the
top 700 in the world in singles and
the
top 600 in doubles. Eleanor continued her education by
completing
a master's
degree in Management and Finance
at Durham University Business school in the United Kingdom
while working
as the
graduate assistant
coach of the
women's
tennis team. Eleanor is currently a Client Service Associate at Morgan Stanley Private Wealth Management in Washington, D.C.
Eleanor
attributes her training at JTCC with helping to equip her with the life skills necessary to accomplish all that she has thus far. Eleanor's stellar work ethic can
be traced back to her time as the youngest player of JTCC's first generation of student-athletes. Eleanor learned to outwork her peers and climb to the top, reaching the #1 Girls' 16s junior ranking in the U.S.
Her experiences in tennis undoubtedly enable her to better deal with pressure situations she faces professionally today.

Tyler attests the development of her time management and planning skills to he
r high performance training . As a student-athlete with a regular public school schedule, Tyler learned to manage her time wisely in order to achieve her goals on and off the tennis court. Training at JTCC also provided Tyler with rock solid knowledge of the basic fundamentals of the game, which is serving her well with the coaching side of her current
role teaching developing ROGY players who are taking their first steps on the JTCC pathway towards their own college scholarships.
