Volley for Mom

Angelo Rossetti from Hamden, Connecticut, and Ettore Rossetti from Shelton, Connecticut, dedicated their latest Guinness World Record to their mother.
Ettore Rossetti ’92 (ED), above left, writes: My identical twin brother, Angelo [Rossetti ’92 (ED)], and I were roommates at Wade House in Towers and competed in varsity tennis and intramurals, respectively. Angelo is a professional tennis (and now pickleball) coach, instructor, and mental skills practitioner. Though that is my side passion, I am a humanitarian at Save the Children, where I have been serving for 20 years. Since our careers diverged in the early 2000s, we stay connected by combining our passion and purpose through attempting to set or break Guinness World Records titles. We recently set our fourth world record in six attempts on August 17, 2024, in Stamford, Connecticut. It was the Longest Pickleball Volley Rally — 10,532 volleys lasting two hours. We dedicated the feat to our late mother while raising funds for Save the Children.
