Jake Vo Tennis Re...Dear Coach:
I hope this finds you well and that your family is healthy and safe. My name is Jake Vo and I am currently a junior at John Paul II High School in Plano, Texas.
I started playing tennis at 6 years old and have been competing in USTA tournaments since the age of 8. My tennis training consists of practices at the Courts McKinney and my high school, USTA or UTR tournaments typically twice a month, and off-court conditioning and weight training. I am currently rated as a two-star recruit and ranked #468 in the nation and #54 in Texas on TennisRecruiting.net. My Universal Tennis Rating is 9.16. As I play more USTA and UTR tournaments in Texas, I hope to reach a three-star rating and be in the top 300 in the TRN national rankings, as well as attain a 10+ UTR.
My strengths on the court are my consistent groundstrokes and controlled aggression. I have gotten very comfortable at net in terms of closing in and utilizing large margins. These assets have helped me tremendously in both my singles and doubles play, as I have been able to dictate play myself. This style of play helped me to achieve 3rd place in the TAPPS state singles tournament, and my goal for this year is to win the state title. Also, as the captain and number one player on my team, I have learned an invaluable sense of leadership and understanding that has helped me grow into not just a stronger tennis player, but a better person. From this, I have developed a great work ethic that motivates me to improve every single day.
In addition to my dedication to tennis, I work extremely hard in my academic studies. My GPA to date is 4.439 in an AP curriculum (here is my current high school transcript). I have taken and plan to continue taking all the AP courses possible in order to challenge myself and develop my intellect. I have taken the SAT once and got a 1430, and I would like to reach a 1500 when I take it again in June. I plan on majoring in pre-med and then attending a medical school in the future. I aspire to become an orthopedic surgeon that treats athletic injuries.
I truly believe that your school is an excellent place for me due to the academic rigor, student diversity, great location, and athletic commitment. I look forward to hearing from you, and I hope to further discuss my opportunity to be a part of your tennis team.
Sincerely,
Jake Vo
