Personal Statement

Dear Coaches-

I am going to be majoring in Biology.  I would love the opportunity to play tennis in college.  I have always worked hard in school and have a 3.978 GPA.  I have been playing in tennis tournaments since I was 12 years olds.  I was #1 player at Grantsville High School for three years.   I got to be number one by working hard all year round.  For me there is no off season.  Currently I am playing in an adult league in Salt Lake City.   I am the type of player that doesn't complain.  I am adaptable.   I am coachable.  I am a peacemaker. I set a good example for the rest of team.  

At the end of my sophomore season of tennis.  I suffered an injury to my right wrist. I had to have surgery and was not able to play tennis for 7 months.  I had to work my way back to the #1 spot.  It was a lot of work.  It was frustrating not being able to hit the way I had before the injury.  It took time and lots of patience.  That injury taught me a lot about not giving up.    I know that if given the chance I would benefit any college team.
