May 2014
July 2013Personal Statement
Hi my name is Zach Plocher, my graduation year is 2015 and I want to play college tennis!!! I have all the qualities to have a successful and solid game. I also have an outstanding work ethic and will give it everything I have until the end. Whether down match point or at match point I will fight until the end to get the win. My saying is train like your #2 and play like your #1. I always want to be playing tennis and I want to continue after college. I am a fantastic student and study hard and want to be able to have a successful future. I also am a left handed player and work hard all year round not just during practice but during weight training and conditioning as well. I am a member of the USTA and compete in tournaments all the time and enjoy every second. I feel my best quality is my mental ability to work hard and stay calm not only in tennis but in life as well.
