Personal Statement
Ever since I was young, tennis has been a key part of my life. As a nationally ranked junior tennis player from Boulder City, NV, I've always had a dream of playing Division I tennis while attending a school with strong academics.
In the Summer of 2017, during the National Team Zonals Tournament, I injured my Shoulder and had a 8 month set back. During my recovery, I learned a valuable lesson - coming back too soon can result in subsequent injuries. My UTR and rankings took a significant hit from all of the stopping and starting during that time. The eye-opening reality of taking enough time off to fully recover has not only taught me proper ways to prepare for matches and to recover post-match but I am now stronger mentally and physically than ever! My UTR might not reflect this yet, but I'm looking for a coach that will look pass my ranking to see the player I truly am: with potential and drive to make an impact on your roster! I'm a type-A, goal-driven individual, I work hard (on court and in the classroom), and I expect A LOT from myself.
