Noah Rubin
Noah Rubin is a professional tennis player and creator of Behind The Racquet. “Mental health has been a passion of mine since learning the importance of monitoring how you feel, for your overall well being. I knew the stigma surrounding this topic and wanted to normalize the idea of opening up. This led me to creating Behind The Racquet.
