Personal Statement

Goals: I would like to play college tennis at a D1, D2 or D3 school.  My goal is to attend a University that fits me academically and athletically.  

I am a hard worker and strive to do my very best, which makes me a good team member and coachable. I look forward to the college tennis team environment, since I fully engage in the team aspect of tennis, as evidenced in my doubles record in the last year 11-3. Also the last two USTA team events my record was 11-5. I definitely enjoy and excel at doubles, however team singles is so much more conducive to success.

What makes me different:

  1. I am already tall, strong and agile with good hands. 6'-4" at 17 years old. Likely will be as tall as my dad who is 6'-6" (played college basketball).
  2. I attend Brophy College Prep, which is the top private high school in Arizona. A Jesuit high school  which only accepts 60% of applicants. I was accepted with distinction (top 10%).  Brophy College Prep  high school consistently is the state champ here in Arizona and for my sophomore year I have played #3 singles and  #1 doubles. Recently, my partner and I won the State Division 1 high school Doubles Championship and I was named Doubles player of the year as a Sophomore.
  3. I have excellent grades in honors and AP classes with an unweighted GPA of 3.89 and weighted GPA of 4.26.

That is exactly what we are looking for in a dedicated athlete like Hadley and that hard work is definitely paying off! He showed improvement in 5 of the testing areas, great job Hadley!! He set some great goals for himself to work towards until his next evaluation. He would like to see his upper body strength improve to get up to 35 push ups. He also wants to see some muscular hypertrophy to help with the naval academy. What an incredible goal that we are so honored to help him work towards. As always, Hadley is a phenomenal athlete to have at the performance center. His consistency and coachability is refreshing""
