Description
We sit down with newly turned professional Caroline Sturdza to trace the real work behind a fast start, from Swiss winters and Stanford championships to a first pro win in Morocco. We talk honestly about injuries, rebuilding a sustainable swing, and how practice becomes sharper when you treat rest, mobility, and performance habits as part of the job.
