Andover Central’s Bryer Geoffroy

Bryer Geoffroy of Andover Central was voted the Wichita Large School Preseason Girls Tennis Player of the Year. Last season, Geoffroy coupled with Maya Chon to make the 5A doubles finals.

“Last season was my freshman year, so high school tennis was completely new to me,” Geoffroy said. “I started as a singles player but then around halfway through the season, my coach decided to put Maya and I together. Our tennis games ended up working really well together so we stuck as a doubles team.”

Geoffroy has the physical attributes but she said becoming a better mental player is something she has worked on to improve from last season.

“I need to remember to focus on the match before me and not overthink the possible outcomes and make myself have unnecessary nerves,” Geoffroy said.

Since Geoffroy had always focused on being a singles player, she had to alter her training this offseason.

“Individually, this is my second school season but my first season fully focusing on doubles,” Geoffroy said. “I have always been a singles player, but I am hoping that I can excel in my doubles game this season.”
