Personal Statement
I have played tennis since I was four years old, and I’ve been competing since I was nine. I have a strong work ethic, and I’m confident that I have the potential to make a positive contribution to a women’s team as a dedicated student-athlete. Over the years, I’ve learned much more than how to swing a racquet. Tennis relies on individual integrity, good sportsmanship, and conflict resolution, in a way that other sports do not. I believe that playing tennis has helped these qualities become my strengths. I understand that every time I walk onto a tennis court, I am an ambassador of the sport, at the same time that I make a statement about my character to everyone around me. The excitement of competition and the confidence developed from a solid fitness program and years of match experience continues to make playing tennis a joy. I am continuing to strive for improvement, and I look forward to representing my sport and my future college team in the best possible light.
