Adam Bernal '16 Recruiting Profile

I haven't played tennis very long but I like to think i've come a long ways in a short amount of time. I know when you hear of a person that's only played a total of a year and four months you don't expect to see very much skill. In the first few days of tennis I knew I was going to love the sport and I told myself I was going to put the work in and go somewhere with it. So I practiced every chance I got free time. I would sometimes practice from six in the afternoon to one or two in the morning. I just let tennis take me over and tried to learn everything I could. My first season I advanced to regionals in boys doubles with a month of practice. This past season I advanced to state in mixed doubles but took gold at district and at regionals. During last year's summer I spent around 300 hours working to become a better all around player. This summer has been spent at the courts working to get to the next level. Most of the things I know I taught myself through trial and error and from watching over players. I'm looking foward to working hard and bettering myself in college.
