Asked by influencer Noah Christian Dion, Ben Shelton reflected on his college journey. He expressed pride in that period and hopes to inspire the younger generation.
He explained: "It was an incredible journey for me, a crazy journey. You know, many tennis players don't go to college, so I guess my path was a bit different.

"I hope to inspire young people"
And I think I'm proof that there isn't just one path to the top of this sport. It's an ongoing process. I just try to improve every day. It's a sport where you quickly fall behind if you don't constantly progress.
I'm happy, or I hope, to be able to inspire young people who are going to college or are already there, and to show them that they too can succeed as professionals."
