Personal Statement
I have 3 collegiate goals which are simple: graduate summa cum laude, have fun playing competetive tennis, and establish enduring friendships.
I should be your next recruit because I will always give you and the team my best. I know that winning is a team effort and I will always put the team's needs before my own. I am very coachable and appreciate the guidance from not only the coaches but from my teammates.
I am driven and dedicated and have been since I was a little girl. I am honest, loyal and fun to be around. I am not perfect. I still need to grow as a a person, student, and athlete. I am a smart girl with lofty goals and determined to achieve each and every one of them. I strongly belive in personal responsibility and accountability (thanks mom and dad).
I have demonstrated I can handle a rigorous academic course load and play 3.5 hours of tennis per day. I have a 3.9 unweighted GPA taking all honors or AP courses at a challenging private school. In parallel, my tennis credentials are strong: I am top 5% (rank 13) in the most competitive section (FL), top 10% in the USA for G16, and nearly top 1/3 in the world for ITF. I have an impressive doubles record both at the sectional, national, and international level advancing to several Finals; taking several titles. I encourage you to review my doubles record. I know how important doubles is for college tennis and can often decide the match.
I will definitely meet your expectations and will give my best to exceed them for both you and the team. I would relish the opportunity to talk with you in-person and explore further our coach/athlete partnership.
