Zoë Hornung '26 Recruiting Profile

 The day I started playing high school tennis and made the top six my freshman year, I had a goal to make it to college tennis. Going into my freshman year for tennis, my main goal was to get number 6. I ended up getting number 5 and I was so excited because I got higher than I thought I could get. I have not only played tennis in my life, I have also played other sports, including competitive gymnastics. Gymnastics helps with my mental game in tennis, in gymnastics it's all mental and if you fall off an event like beam you have to get back up and finish strong. You have to have a good mentality in gymnastics, and I connect all of that to tennis. If I'm losing a set right off the bat I try to give it my all, instead of bringing myself down. I am looking for a college that can help me achieve both my education and tennis goals. Setting goals for myself and being able to achieve them would be one of the biggest accomplishments for tennis. I have always had goals for myself even when I was younger. If I were to do a sport, I would think ahead and create a goal for me to reach, even if I didn’t know that I could achieve my goal.
