Hale Named Oklahoma City Adult League Coordinator

USTA Oklahoma: What are you most excited about being the new OKC League Coordinator?

Hale: I am most excited about the opportunity to work with so many amazing people affiliated with the USTA program.  I love meeting new people, so I am looking forward to getting to know all the captains and working with them as well as getting to know the players.  

USTA Oklahoma: Tell us about your family

Hale: I have been married to my husband Lane for 17 years.  We have two boys who keep us on our toes.  My oldest son, Evan, is a freshman at Memorial High School.  My youngest son, Samuel, is a 7th grader at Cimarron Middle School.

USTA Oklahoma: What is your favorite sport, besides tennis?

Hale: Basketball is my first love and my favorite sport.  My dad was a high school boy’s coach, and he passed along his love of the game to me at a young age.  March Madness is my favorite time of the year!

USTA Oklahoma: What is your favorite food?

Hale: I am going to have to go with guacamole.  Being from Texas, I have had my fair share of Mexican food.  Chips and salsa are not too bad either!

USTA Oklahoma: What are your hobbies?

Hale: My hobbies include reading, trying new restaurants, and watching any college sport…except for maybe baseball.  Sorry baseball fans!  However, my favorite past-time is talking on the phone with my two older sisters. 

USTA Oklahoma: Anything else fun we would like us to know about yourself? 

Hale: I find it ironic that I ran a marathon after I graduated from college.  I did everything I could to avoid track in middle and high school, and I decided I could run a marathon for some reason.  What I learned from that process was that you can do a lot of things if you set your mind to it, commit to hard work, and have a little belief in yourself.  If I can do it, anyone can!  I also realized after doing it once, I would never do it again.
