Kai Daudsyah '25 Recruiting Profile

Dear Collegiate Coaches:

I want to express my interest in playing on the tennis team at a major university. Tennis has been a passion of mine since my father coached me since I was 4 years old. I have been fortunate enough to have many opportunities to develop my game through intensive training, competitive tournaments, and private lessons.

I started playing tournaments when I was 6 years old, following the USTA ROGY program. Throughout my high school career, I have competed against some of the top players in the Missouri Valley region, by playing in USTA tournaments.

I have played a total of 64 singles tournaments and 22 doubles tournaments. I was a finalist for over 19 of tournaments I have ever entered and I have won 14 tournaments and runner up in 5. During tournaments, I compete in both singles and doubles events.

To get used to playing college level tennis, I also enter Adult Open tournaments. I was given a wild card to play in the ITF qualifying in Edwardsville, IL in 2023. I lost in the first round but gained the experience to realize that I have many things yet to improve my game.

In my high school freshman year, I placed 4th in individual Missouri State for doubles. Then in my sophomore year I placed 3rd in individual Missouri State for doubles. In my Junior year, we placed 2nd in individual Missouri State doubles. Me and my doubles partner will do our best to place 1st  in individual Missouri State doubles this year in 2025. If I'm elected  captain in my senior year, I will do my best to inspire the entire team wind Districts and quality for State as a team.

I am currently enrolled at the Forest Lake Tennis Academy clinic in Chesterfield, Missouri, which I attend 2 times a week. I have had many private coaches in my life. My current coach is Santioago Munoz that I have trained under for over a year.

As a dedicated tennis player, my weekly activities include: 1 hour private lessons, 2 hours a week of tennis clinic, 4 hours of physical workout at the gym, 4 hours playing scrimmage matches with players better than myself and additional hours playing USTA tournaments.

My coach and I set a goal to play 2 USTA tournaments a month so I gain experience in high level competition and learn match strategy. My goal is to win matches more by playing at least 40 high level USTA matches a year.

As I look to the future, I am excited about the prospect of continuing my tennis career at the collegiate level. I am confident that I have the skills, determination, and dedication needed to succeed as a college tennis player, and I am eager to contribute to a team and make a positive impact on and off the court.

Thank you for viewing my tennis resume on this site, and I look forward to the opportunity to discuss my qualifications if you think I have the talent to be part of your team.

Sincerely,

Kai Daudsyah
