My fourth and final article in my Athlete to Advocate: Lessons Learned through Sports Propel Lawyers to Compete as Champions series was published this month in the American Bar Association GPSolo eReport. In this article, I discuss how the lessons learned as an athlete regarding teamwork and sportsmanship impact an attorney’s approach to engaging as a lawyer. “In a sports competition, it’s called sportsmanship; in a legal matter, it’s called civility. The principle is the same: treating your opponent with a sense of dignity and respect and playing fairly by the rules.” Check out the article here.
The Tennis Outreach Programs (TOPs) Auction was on October 13! Our team had a great time, bidding on some fun items, getting involved in the Dessert Dash and sharing some great wine – all the while supporting a fun and fantastic local non-profit which I’ve been proudly involved with for many years. And, Katie won the cash raffle!
Sherry has served on the Board of the Mother Attorneys Mentoring Association (MAMA Seattle) for the past few years.
