Dear Coach,
I started playing tennis when I was 7 years old. It has been the one constant in my life while growing up. I cannot and do not want to imagine the day that I no longer play this game, which has provided me with an enormous amount of joy. I can promise you that I will give you everything I have every time we step out on the court. I am a team-oriented player who has always put her teammates before herself and listens well to constructive coaching. If you ask me to do something, I will do it!
Off the court, I have worked hard to earn good grades in the classroom. If I am not working on my game, you will most likely find me studying for an upcoming test or spending time with my family and friends. I am in all honors classes and ahead of the set curriculum in almost all of my subjects. My dedication in the classroom is also shown on the court. When faced with a challenge, I do not give up. I believe I am a fighter and have proven it in the various trials my teachers and coaches have thrown my way.
I believe that my upbringing and experiences have taught me many incredibly valuable lessons. I learned at a young age that if I wanted something, I would have to work hard for it. This created the persistent work ethic that I pride myself on today. I hope that you will give me a chance to show you who I am on and off the field. However, I can guarantee that if you are looking for a dedicated and responsible player who is a natural born leader that you have found me. I would like to thank you in advance for your consideration and hope to hear from you soon!
Sincerely,
Zoe Schultz
