Marie Discini '20 Recruiting Profile

One of my biggest aspirations growing up was to play tennis at a collegiate level. With all the countless hours I have put into this sport, it has been one of my main goals to play Division 1 tennis.  This sport has had the biggest impact on my life, and I feel in college it will help me find myself throughout the early stages of adulthood.  If I played on your team, I would give my 100% effort each day and stay fully dedicated. It is a privilege to play on any college team.  I take my academics seriously, and will be your student-athlete you look for each day. I am a team player, coming from almost a four year experience of playing high school tennis with both boys and girls.  Team bonding is very important to me, and I aspire to be a leader in no matter what the task at hand is.  Alongside that, I have been as a high as a three star recruit on TennisRecruiting.net, and an 8.29 UTR.  So far, I have achieved winning States in West Virginia, three times as number one. I also have achieved 3 time All State, and State Champion for #1 doubles.  These results may seem like it came easy, but I have put in so much time and effort to be at this position.  I am different from other recruits because I have to work harder than other recruits have to physically and academically. I do not have the resources like other recruits do such as an established club with private lessons and clinics. I don't take any opportunity I get for granted and if I get the opportunity to play college tennis no matter what division, I will use that opportunity to grow on and off the court as a person. Thank you.
