Personal Statement
I first stepped onto a tennis court at the age of three, when I would accompany my older sister to her lessons. I fell in love with the sport then and have been on the court ever since. Playing collegiate tennis is the next stepping stone in my hopes to play professional tennis. I believe that competing with some of the best players from around the world, under the mentorship of renowned coaches will allow my game to flourish.
I would be a good candidate for any team as I am extremely dedicated and disciplined to tennis. I take feedback well, understanding that my coaches want to push to achieve my full potential. Additionally, I believe it is extremely important to treat my teammates as well as my opponents with respect, because there is always something you can learn from someone else.
This attitude that I have fostered on the court translates over the classroom: I study hard, identify concepts I need to strengthen, and ask for help to improve upon those. I engage with all my classmates, trying to create an environment where all my peers feel comfortable in sharing their ideas.
I want to attend a college where I can compete at a high level, continue to better my game, and pursue my interests in business/management and sports.
