BD has posted their new cover story, a feature on Jennifer Barretta. It's a very good story about a very good friend of mine. I know all the guys like to talk about her looks, and yeah I understand why; but there is a lot more to her than that. Jen has made the leap from "D" player to touring pro in just 6 years. Trust me, very few thought she could do this way back when...
I have a lot of admiration for her, she came to this sport like an athlete. She has continuously sought out the best coaching she could find and has never let others bring her down. Believe me many have tried...she is a constant target for resentment and jealousy, and handles it all with dignity and a detached restraint.
I am very proud of her, I had the luck and privilege of being on two amazing teams with her and have traveled hours through many states, in her passenger seat, to get to these little regional tour stops all over the north east. Eating bad food, and staying cheap motels, I could not have asked for a better partner in crime. I know no one, who has worked harder or deserves it more...
