Personal Statement
I, Prakrit Saha, am a highly motivated and accomplished athlete with an impressive four-year tennis journey and a proven track record in various sports. My primary collegiate aspiration is to become a valued member of a competitive and esteemed college tennis team, contributing my unwavering dedication and versatile skills to achieve success in regional and national championships. Alongside my athletic pursuits, I am equally committed to excelling academically by enrolling in honors and AP classes, demonstrating my ability to balance sports and academics effectively.
As a testament to my tenacity and passion for sports, I have played two high school sports and actively participated in a prominent soccer club team and club tennis becoming a 4.3(Singles) and a 5.3(Doubles) UTR in two years, refining my abilities and showcasing my adaptability across different disciplines. I believe that my strong work ethic, coupled with my ability to inspire and motivate teammates, sets me apart as a leader, making me an invaluable asset to any college team.
In summary, I am eager to contribute my athletic prowess, unwavering dedication, and strong leadership qualities to a college tennis team that fosters growth, teamwork, and excellence. With a focus on both sports and academics, I am prepared to make a lasting impact at the collegiate level, both on the courts and in the classroom.

- 6/03/23 to 6/04/23
- Got second place in this tournament with my partner Richard Nesti, a first-time doubles player. With the game being a pro set to 8 games and after being 3-0 games down and knowing my inexperienced partner needed help. With the help of my partner, we were able to turn the match around making the final score 7-9.
- Camp/Event
- 2023 NJSIAA Boys Tennis Tournament - North Jersey, Section 2, Group 4
- 5/26/23 to 6/06/23
- Watchung Hills' senior Remon Fahmy and freshman Prakrit Saha defeated Bridgewater-Raritan junior Eric Shao and sophomore Sid Balasubramanian in the first set, but the Panthers duo came back to win the next two sets to secure a 3-6, 6-1, 6-3 victory in second doubles on Tuesday, May 30, in Warren. While not being the result I wanted I felt like this game definitely will be a pressure point for my next high school season. After playing with a new partner and not being told of the game until the day before it seemed the pressure got to me during the final set and letting down the 5 seniors on varsity and the spectators had me hoping for another try. But next year's playoffs will have a different scenario and different ending
