Personal Statement
I am 5'6" and both a singles and doubles player from Brisbane, Australia. I graduate December 2017 and am looking to go to a University in the fall of 2018. I have been training at an elite academy since I was 9 years old and have a strong passion for tennis. I would love to go to an American college to further progress my skills as an athlete as well as engage in American culture. I have been captaining my high school Varsity Team for the past 4 years; leading our team to take out the premiership last year. I play competitive tennis at an Open and International level and have a 3.0 GPA. I hope to find a college with a strong academic program as well as a high level and intense tennis program. I also hope to play in a team that pursues my confident game style and will push me to improve and compete against top level tennis players. Recently, I competed at the school sports U19 Pizzey and Australia National Championship Cup, where I captained my state team. We placed 3rd overall as a state and individually I was selected to be part of the Australian Merit Team; an achievement I am proud to have accomplished. Having captained many sports teams in recent years, I believe my leadership skills would be a great asset to a college team. As my coaches would agree, I hardly miss training sessions and commit to any activity I join. I would love to attend a medium to large school size, preferably along the coastlines of the US. Ideally, I would love to play at the DI level against strong competition as well as study a degree in nutrition and dietetics.
