Zella Stockman '24 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goals are to study law and earn a career as an attorney. 

I'm different than most tennis players in that I started playing tennis at a seriously young age.  I began hitting balls when I was two years old and accomplished a good volley when I was four years old.  Also, as a professional actor who has bi-coastal representation, I have learned to embrace auditions and performances as if playing on the court.  You may make some mistakes by missing some shots (or some lines), but in the end the performance is a rewarding learning experience not unlike a tennis match.  My attitude is very friendly yet professional and keep my attitude in check when I win or lose treating my opponents with utmost respect.  Tennis just comes natural to me and I enjoy improving with each and every practice.  

With academics, I homeschooled for three years but was immediately accepted into the best single gendered private school after testing well on the entrance exam.  I take my studies very seriously and am proud of what I've accomplished on the courts and in the classroom.
