(This person is kinda upset that I dissed their favorite browser. I actually use Chrome and I like it, but for some reason the layout here is different than on Firefox. And of course, the iPad and IE just plain suck. You tool.)

Andrea Jaeger

Andrea Jaeger was a tennis prodigy in the 1980s, turning pro at age 14 and easily beating Billie Jean King in the 1983 Wimbledon semifinals after King made a snide comment about her. But she intentionally lost the final match to Martina Navratilova -- if you want to know why click the link above. Basically, she grew tired of the game.

Now, Jaeger is an ordained Anglican Dominican nun who helps children with cancer. She also tries to warn teenage sports phenoms of the destructive psychological pitfalls they may fall into at such a sensitive age. She knows because she was one of them.
