Cooper Burke '26 Recruiting Profile

I am thrilled at the prospect of playing tennis at the collegiate level while pursuing a major in computer engineering. My commitment to tennis has taught me resilience, focus, and the importance of consistent hard work—qualities I know will also serve me well academically. Tennis has been a passion of mine for years, and I have dedicated countless hours to improving my skills, both on and off the court. This dedication has strengthened my mental and physical endurance, helping me to stay motivated and adaptable, even in challenging situations.

Academically, I am driven by a deep interest in technology and problem-solving, which is why I am excited to major in computer engineering. I see a strong connection between the strategic thinking I’ve honed on the tennis court and the analytical skills required in engineering. The challenge of breaking down complex problems, whether in a match or in a coding project, motivates me to push my limits. I am confident that my discipline in sports, combined with my passion for engineering, will enable me to excel in a rigorous college environment.

Balancing athletics and academics is something I have consistently prioritized, and I am eager to bring that same balance to my college experience. Playing for a college team would not only be an honor but also an opportunity to contribute to a supportive and competitive community. I am excited to continue growing as both an athlete and a student, pushing myself to achieve my goals on the court and in the classroom.
