Collier Kaufman '20 Recruiting Profile

I’ve always had a love for constant movement and a strong desire for continuous improvement in my mental and physical strength and ability. I’ve excelled in many other sports: soccer, track, gymnastics, cross country, wrestling and baseball. However, none of them invigorate me the way tennis does. 

What I enjoy most about tennis (and especially singles) is that even though you have the same tight knit type team, it’s ultimately a one on one sport. You versus your opponent. No one to fall back on. No one to pick up the slack. Just you, him, and your ability to stay calm and collected while playing at a high intensity. 

I’m a dedicated athlete and student, keeping both in balance, for a well rounded personality. Regardless of whether I am on the court or not, I give my all and strive to become better everyday. I look to lead those around me daily through my words and actions, encouraging them, pushing them, and challenging them, just as I expect them to do for me.
