Nicolas Gast '26 Recruiting Profile

My ultimate goal in tennis is to express who I am. I aim to stay true to myself regardless of how many break points I face, by giving my all for every shot. I also see tennis as an opportunity to practice discipline as a form of self-love. Consistently waking up early to play before school, reflecting after every session, and being in bed by 9 PM leaves me feeling fired up for the bright future my tennis has to offer. I hope to find a (com)passionate team that shares my fascination with not just tennis, but also what goes behind it: positive body language, nutrition, physical fitness, and breathing techniques. 

    My strengths as a tennis player include my exceptional stamina, my consistency from behind the baseline, my ability to take shots on the rise, and my dropshots. My points for improvement include my net game and first-serve percentage. 

    I maintain strong grades by paying careful attention in class and finishing my assignments during school hours, leaving me the maximum amount of time to play tennis and strength train.
