About Me
My name is Grant Williams. I live in St. Louis, Missouri. I’m a passionate and determined junior racquetball player aiming for the number one spot in the world.
 Over the past years I have encountered many struggles that impacted me both mentally and physically. These struggles were severe and are part of what has driven me to the top. I am currently part of the U.S. Junior National Team. My personal goals are ambitious and honestly scare me sometimes but I believe that if your dreams don’t scare you you’re not dreaming big enough. Always Dream Fearlessly.
