Executive: Stephanie Narvades, chief financial officer of Healthesystems, a company that provides medical cost management for the workers' compensation industry. The privately held Tampa-based company with more than 400 employees provides pharmacy and ancillary benefit management and clinical review services, serving more than 1 million injured patients.

Diversion: Tennis, both singles and doubles matches for USTA and Ultimate Tennis. For the league, players are assigned a playing level rating from 1.5 to 7.0, which is based on their competitive record and calculated by the National Tennis Rating Program (NTRP). Over the last four years, 44-year-old Narvades has worked her way up to a 3.5 in the USTA league and a 4.0 in the Ultimate Tennis league. Ultimate Tennis is a flex league that sets up weekly matches against players of comparable ability. For practice, Narvades works out with tennis pro Jose Campos at Harbour Island Athletic Club in Tampa.

Cost of training: In addition to the costs of the athletic club, Narvades pays between $52 to $60 a class at Harbour Island. She also attends clinics on some Mondays and Tuesdays that cost $29 a piece. “The clinics are fun because they are all different levels and guys go to that, so you can play with both men and women,” Narvades says. Narvades likes Campos' workouts because he includes a lot of fitness in his practices, making players practice running for the ball. “It helps me to think on my feet,” she says.
