Jacob Berg '19 Recruiting Profile

Tennis is my passion. I love the game of tennis and have been training since I was 7 years old. I am currently training at John Newcombes Tennis Academy in New Braunfels, Texas. I work hard every single day to learn and develop my skills so that I can become the best tennis player that I can be.

My short term goals as of right now are to become the best student-athlete I can become on and off the court. I have faced setbacks in the past couple of years, such as injuries, and work every day to improve as much as I can. As I was a key leader on my varsity high school tennis team in my sophomore year, I definitely feel that I have leadership qualities and the skills necessary to improve those around me as well as learn from those around me. I have no problem working my way up in a lineup, as I have done so many times before. I am currently working to improve my USTA State, sectional and national rank to more accurately reflect my skill as a player. I do not feel that my current numbers reflect my skill as I have had injuries that have prohibited me from playing as much as I would have liked to in the past few years, and I am focusing my junior and senior year on restoring my rankings.
