Personal Statement
I began taking tennis lessons when I was 10 but I only started taking it seriously after I quit my soccer team. Since then I have made tennis my primary sport and passion. I have been playing tennis with a burning passion for about 4 years. During those years, I have greatly improved with the help of private lessons, USTA tournaments, and playing for my school.
I have consistently been in the top 20% of my school academically. I have very good grades and keep them with little studying. I am in almost all honors or AP classes.
When I'm playing I tend not to get frustrated and don't lose my cool no matter the situation. I'm good at identifying my opponent's weakness and exploiting in order to gain the upper hand on them. My best stroke is my serve with my forehand being a close second.
