5 MINUTES AGO: “I chose to study at Florida Virtual Flex not because of the contract or the ambitious projects, but because of one person. The only person I want to be with throughout my career.” Amidst the applause that echoed as Coco Gauff marked a new milestone in her life, she suddenly stopped, choking up as she shared the real reason why Coco chose Florida Virtual Flex. No one expected that decision to come from someone who had silently supported Coco through the most difficult years. And when Coco called that person’s name, the whole room fell silent, and then immediately after that, social media exploded with a story so beautiful that it made everyone want to cry.

5 MINUTES AGO: Coco Gauff Reveals Heartfelt Reason Behind Choosing Florida Virtual Flex

Paris, France – In a moment that will be remembered by fans and the tennis world alike, Coco Gauff took center stage not just for her incredible achievements on the court, but for the deeply personal revelation she shared about her education.

I chose to study at Florida Virtual Flex not because of the contract or the ambitious projects, but because of one person. The only person I want to be with throughout my career,” Gauff said, her voice slightly trembling amidst the applause that filled the room.

The room had erupted in cheers as Gauff, already an icon in the world of tennis, celebrated a new milestone in her life. Yet, in a sudden and intimate shift, the applause quieted as she paused, choking up as she shared the real reason behind her unconventional educational choice.

Florida Virtual Flex, a branch of Florida Virtual School, is not just any online educational program. It offers students—particularly young athletes with demanding international schedules—the flexibility to complete coursework remotely, adapt to travel, and maintain high-level academic standards. For Gauff, who has been competing on the professional tennis circuit from a very young age, this was more than a convenient option—it was a lifeline.

However, the decision to enroll in the program, she revealed, was motivated by far more than academic convenience or contractual obligations. It was deeply personal. It was about someone who had quietly guided, supported, and inspired her throughout the challenges of growing up in the competitive world of tennis.

“No one expected that decision to come from someone who had silently supported me through the most difficult years,” Gauff admitted, her eyes glistening with emotion. “This person has always believed in me, even when I doubted myself, and their support has been the foundation of everything I’ve achieved.”
