Peter Morris '20 Recruiting Profile
Video
Personal Statement
Hi, thank you for visiting my profile. I am a high school Junior, 16 years old. What sets me apart from others is that I am one of the hardest working recruits you will ever meet. I started playing really late (2 months before my 14th birthday) and play every day of the year for hours on end to make up the lost time. Since that time, my UTR has reached 8.10 (October 2018). I have the grit and perseverance to keep improving and take coaching well. Overall, I am an aggressive all court player.
I also work hard in the classroom and enjoy quite a few subjects, mostly sciences. My GPA is 3.67. I would love to play tennis in college, because I enjoy everything about it. I love playing it, watching it, cheering for my friends, and discussing tennis trivia. Outside of tennis, I enjoy traveling, exercising, swimming, watching movies, playing video games and hanging out with my friends and family. In college I would like to major in Finance and Data Science or Statistics/Actuarial Science.
Take care!
