Joel Samaha has been one of Florida's top players for the past seven years. A tremendous talent and personality that showed potential to go up in the world rankings quickly.

Although the ETC staff and coaches believed in Joel's ability to play at a professional level, it was his ultimate decision to postpone that career to join Yale University, one of the world's top academic institutions and pursue his degree first.

Joel has been with ETC for over five years, so although we will miss him we know he will succeed in whatever life throws at him.
