Maria Diaz-Nazario '20 Recruiting Profile

For college, I wish to maintain a good academic record while still being concentrated on the team. I do hope and focus on improving my game until I have all the skills necessary in the game. This past year I have improved my game a lot, and this changes have given me good results. I am always open for corrections and critics when it comes to improving my game. My style is place is an all-around player. Changing the pace of the ball, taking time away from the opponent and not using much of my energy to win points while effectively tiring my opponent, those would be the attributes that make me a good candidate. 

Not only would I have a different game from the rest, I would also be 100% focused on my match. Since I was little, I have been able to keep my match mentality and my personal life in two different poles. I will always try my best, pay attention to instructions so they will only need to be said twice, and will maintain my good academic performance. 

I am aware that I am not as tall as many other tennis players, but in my mentality, size is only as important as you make it. The net may be higher for me than for someone 5'8, but I can compensate with my speed, agility and mentality. 

Thank you for reading my profile.
