Matthew Garrido, ...Personal Statement
Easy-to-coach player willing to learn and put in all the work needed to improve and help the team. Love to be out on the court for several hours a day almost all week long. To illustrate how much work I put in, I typically break two 15-gauge poly string sets a week (with no arm issues) and go through shoes every 3 weeks. Competitive at both singles and doubles. I have thrived in the team setting, and have played on Junior Team Tennis teams that have won USTA Section championships. I am still exploring different interests to determine what major I'd like to pursue, but technical things come easy to me and, of course, I enjoy almost everything sports-related. Before the COVID-19 pandemic stopped most things, I regularly volunteered at the San Diego Food Bank and participated in many beach clean ups.
