Yelena Travica '23 Recruiting Profile

I am looking to play division 1 or 2 tennis in the USA for the Fall of 2023, but I am open to any opportunities that come my way. I didn't start playing tennis till I was 12 years old, but I never let that stop me from being a fierce competitor when it came to tournaments. Living in a small city like Winnipeg didn’t give me many chances to make my UTR an accurate reflection of how I play tennis. I’m currently ranked as 152 in Canada for the Girls under 18 category. I am self motivated and driven to train as hard as I can because playing tennis is my passion. I played many sports in my past which has helped me grow in tennis in ways such as footwork and speed.  This past summer I qualified to represent Team Manitoba at the 2022 Canada Summer Games in doubles which was a great learning experience. I've also attended 3 Canadian Junior Nationals representing Team Prairies.  I am looking forward to studying Kinesiology because it will keep me close to sports. I think I would make a great team player because I love socializing with my current training partners both on and off of the court.  I believe that having a positive attitude and work ethic is the key to success.
