Personal Statement
I have been playing tennis since I was 7 and competitively since I was about 10 years old. Growing up both of my parents played tennis so I kind of was indoctrinated in the sport from a young age. I am very competitive on and off the tennis court. It takes a lot for me to willingly give up during a match. I am also a very versatile player, meaning that I can play both singles and doubles as needed. I was the only eighth grader to make the varsity team at my previous high school and I have been playing on the varsity team since that point. However, I was unable to play my sophomore year due to transferring schools. Last year at regionals, my team came in first place against all the other schools in my area. I feel as though my personality sets me a part from other recruits because I can balance a serious attitude and an upbeat/encouraging attitude for me and my team mates.
