Personal Statement
Hello my name is Alex Howe and I am 20 years old from New Zealand. I am currently a Sophomore at Delta State University in Mississippi. My Major is Exercise Science. Spring 2014 was my first semester and also my first season. As a freshman I played #1-3 in singles and either #1-2 doubles. Although I encounted an injury in my first season I was still motivated to play and make sure I made a full recovery so I could carry on competing.
I am looking to transfer in Spring 2016 because I want a new environment and another experience. I also want to excell in my tennis, but where I am at the moment I don't think I can go further. I am a motivated and enthusiastic person who wants to learn and make not only my coaches proud but also my team.
I have had experience overseas where throughout 2011 and 2012 I have traveled overseas to Australia, Fiji and New Caledonia with a group from New Zealand competing in ITF tournaments.In December 2012 I also beat the 2nd seed at nationals in straight sets 6-4 6-4 where I then lost in the round of 16.
