Personal Statement

As a dedicated and passionate team tennis player, I have aspired to compete at the collegiate level ever since I began taking the sport seriously at the age of 10. Throughout my years of playing, I have noticed a significant improvement in my level of play whenever I am playing for a team, rather than just for myself. As a student athlete, I can confidently say that there is no other recruit who will have the same level of dedication and passion for team tennis that I do. Suppose any coaches are willing to take a chance on me. In that case, they will quickly discover that I am a hardworking and dedicated individual who is fully committed to not only excelling on the court, but also maintaining a strong work ethic off the court. My coaches and teammates have recognized this work ethic and responsibility to the point where I was named Captain as a Junior and was appointed to the Durham Academy Student Athlete Leadership Team. They will not find another recruit who is as willing to work hard and give it their all for the team. I am very excited for the opportunities to come to grow more as a leader on court and to grow bonds with future teammates and coaches that will last a lifetime.
