Jay Devilliers Wins Silver and Bronze at APP Louisville
Jay Devilliers in Louisville: Silver, Bronze and a Hunger for Gold That Won’t Quit
Two medals, two battle partners and big news off the court. Jay Devilliers made his mark at the inaugural Humana APP Louisville Open, and before leaving he sat down with DINK Authority for a quick Face to Face chat.
Some players are happy just to reach the podium. Jay Devilliers isn’t one of them.
Louisville gave him two medals at a single tournament, silver and bronze, at the inaugural Humana APP Louisville Open. Anyone else would be celebrating. Jay left Kentucky thinking about the one thing he didn’t get.
“No gold but silver and bronze thanks to my teammates,” he wrote. “Now, it’s time to keep grinding and getting better to chase that gold!”
That’s the mindset of a true competitor.
