Vander Woody '22 Recruiting Profile

I want to go to a college that pushes me to become a better athlete and a better person. Hard work and focus has always been a part of my life. Through college, I am looking to push myself and develop my game even more. Ultimately, my major goal is to become a professional tennis player. Throughout my life, I have always been looked up to as a leader, whether it is on the court, in the classroom, or in social settings. I have learned to live up to the high expectations I have set on myself and I am constantly aiming to improve so that others around me can as well. I am a good fit wherever I go because I set the bar and focus level high as a leader. This doesn't just force me to continually improve, but it also forces other people around me to put their best foot forward and stay on point.

To become the best I willing to do whatever it takes. Hard work has always come naturally to me. It has been my motivation and it has carried me far enough to realize that there isn't any magic trick to success: hard work and consistency are key. I always look to become better with academics and athletics. Both have to be on point. If either start to slip, I catch it early and refocus myself to get back on the right track.
