Personal Statement
I believe that I am improving daily every time I step on court. I give everything I have every time I play tennis whether this is a lesson, practice match, or tournament. I will leave the court with the state of mind that I did everything I possibly could to get better. As someone who does a lot of activities outside of the tennis court, I have developed very useful skills regarding time management which has better prepared me for the college tennis environment I would be put in. With my dream always being to play college tennis, I think what separates me from other recruits is the fact that I have developed necessary mindsets and skills to be a successful tennis player not just from the court, but from other actives I participate in too, and due to my improving national rank and UTR, I believe I am a college tennis candidate that should be looked at by coaches, regardless of the college.
