Rogelio Araiza '24 Recruiting Profile

My goal in life was always to strive for what I wanted to do and in a world where there’s nothing but delusions and fake stories. I always copied others in terms of technique, habits, and manners but only the good ones. I think to myself on a daily basis on what I could do to improve but of course I never had enough time. In my 3 years of tennis I practiced from 3-6 hours  every weekday to catch up to those that had years of experience and I fell in love with the sport as I found friends and people to look up to. With all my practice I could keep up with the 5-8 UTR players. Losing by a clinch sometimes. But I move forward with what I’ve learned and become a stronger mental player. That’s exactly why you need someone that is obsessed with not only the game but the feeling of playing.
