Olivia Hall

Hi! I’m Olivia, running for Captain of Ladies 2s. I joined ICSM tennis and Imperial biochemistry this year, and have really enjoyed taking part in the training sessions and matches organised by Kyleen and Toh. These were the best environments to improve in tennis – having said that I fluked my way in- and to meet everyone.

ICSM tennis has been a highlight of my first year at imperial, and a great way to avoid my lab reports. I value all the advice I’ve been given- in training and at socials. Having attended almost all training sessions this year, I hope to be well placed to run 2s training. I’d love to work with you all to improve the team and run ICSM tennis next year!

Plans:

• To continue uncapped biweekly training and maintain attendance, and encourage members to book courts outside of training. I will plan structured training as I’ve learnt from this year, in collaboration with the men’s 2s captain, and maintain a welcoming environment for new members.
• To increase competitive aspects of training, such as keeping a tally of la vache points and match play in training.
• To run fortnightly ladies training on Thursday evenings, and plan additional ladies socials.
• To assist social secretaries in planning sports nights and recruiting more 2s team members to join.
• To plan matches in advance, aiming for 4 different team members signing up, encouraging more team members to take part in matches and advertising results and opportunities to play.
