As a Professional Tennis Coach I want my students to be the best they can be in tennis, i use that mentality to try their hardest in everything they do. I also want to create future tennis pro’s, by training them everyday they can develop their game to get at least a college scholarship.

I asked Emma Nuzzi what she thought her biggest accomplishment was, she replied with “I would say becoming a very good tennis player.” Emma Nuzzi started playing tennis at age twelve, which she thinks was a late age. When Emma was in the seventh grade she told her gym teacher that she wanted to play tennis she then replied to Nuzzi with “Maybe.”, this did not encourage Emma at the time because her gym teacher was the varsity tennis coach. Emma did not let this get to her too much because she practiced and became the player that she is today.

I went from being one of the best players in New England to middle of the pack at a top academy. My classmates are from all over the world, including China, India and Venezuela. I work hard to keep pace, dedicate extra time with coaches and appreciate the structured time for our academic classes. These experiences have helped me to learn more than the game of tennis: balance, commitment, nutrition, preparation and teamwork. More importantly, these experiences have helped me believe in myself and look at challenges as opportunities. I would like to encourage other girls and women to build confidence and work toward their

As I first joined the Prince George’s Tennis and Education Foundation tennis team, I was extremely pleased with the environment. I was met with friendly individuals and warm personalities from my peers and coaches alike. The coaches were exceptionally supportive, and I maintained a healthy, competitive relationship with my peers. Athletically, the PGTEF coaches were devoted to assisting the members of the team in comprehending

First, I would like to share with all of you what tennis is and what it’s like for the professionals and high school teams, to

Over the last two years of my High School education, I found the extracurricular activities I fit in the most. I am part of Student Council, National Honor Society and a member of the tennis team. They all have molded me to be the best. However, I feel like tennis has impacted me the most. It’s a sport that has taught me so much, from being physically fit, to mentally prepared for any outcome. I learned that a game it’s not about winning or losing, but about how it’s played, and what it took to get there. Being in a team is about contributing others, and learning from them. It’s about accepting that we all make mistakes, and only practice can reduce the times we make them. So many loses and few victories, but I always preferred to sheer my

The Coastal Bend College Endowed Scholarship Application will be the second scholarship I have applied for because I didn't think about college until my second semester of my senior year when a coach said “you’d be perfect for this job”. After I heard that statement I started looking into studying kinesiology and asking questions about their experiences. Ever since then I have been wanting to become what I think of them, which is a hero. I want to help kids achieve their goals and become someone important. I understand coaches do not get paid a fair amount, but I am willing to accept this fact. To me it is about graduating college and doing something I know I will enjoy for the rest of my life.

As a freshman volleyball player, my biggest dream was to get so good at my position that a college would offer me a scholarship to attend college and play for them. Everyone is aware that college is expensive, especially the students who don’t know how exactly they are going to pay for college. That was and is me. I had read about students being signed to different community colleges or universities and sometimes getting a full ride. I wanted so badly to be that student my junior or senior year. If I could play the game I loved and attend college for free or at a discounted price, I was going to be one happy individual.

Tennis is the sport normally thought of as being quiet and gentle, hitting a ball back and forth. Like some sports, swimming for example, it has its spectators and everyone must keep quiet and not distract the professional players from attempting to score or win. No one expects to go to a tennis match to hear someone hit a ball and screech out as if they are in the worst pain of their lives over and over again. This loud and annoying screech is also referred to as grunting and can be a distracting interference that many believe should be banned altogether in the sport of tennis.

The first goal I have is being a better hockey player. This is my second year playing hockey and i'm pretty good but there is always a way to get better. I first of all want to improve my skating. I'M pretty good on my skates but I just want to be able to skate faster and be able to do more fancy footwork. If I was able to achieve that it would make me a better player. I also want to get my slap shot better. The reason I want to get my slap shot better is, i'm a defenseman and if

Highland’s Men’s tennis team is making a big racket this year. Tennis is a really fast paced sport that can be played two different ways. The first way that tennis can be played is called playing doubles, which is two players from each team who play against each other as a pair. The next way that tennis can be played is one on one, which is one player from each team playing against the other. Men’s tennis is led by Coach Forshee Blair, who plays a big part in their lives. Senior Staton Jones, the number one player, remarked, “Coach Forshee is the person I admire the most.”Junior Daniel Friday stated, “Coach Forsche plays a big part in helping the team to keep going by calling us over to the fence and giving us pep talks.”

Investigating Why tennis? What was my Goal? Tennis is a popular sport played by millions of people all around the world. Players either play singles (one versus one) or doubles (two verses two), and this is one main reason I was attracted to the sport from the beginning.

Nevertheless, I was also able to venture out of my academic comfort zone and be a part of the Kingsway high school experience. I tried out for my first athletic team ever my freshman year, Girl’s Tennis. Being a part of that community, learning what it takes to be the best through practice, depending on my teammates in order to be victorious, and so much more, was an unforgettable experience to me. As with my goal to improve, I played Junior Varsity for my first two years, and through my efforts, I made the jump to varsity. Along with that, I

Later on in life, I plan on being either a physical education teacher or an elementary education teacher and I also plan on being a varsity level tennis and basketball coach. My intentions as the head of the tennis program are to instill leadership qualities in each and every one of my players. I plan on leading by example, coming to practice willing to

Overall, earning a scholarship will allow me to earn a degree in college, which will increase my ability to give back to my community, as well as my ability to support my family. Thank you for the honor of allowing me to share my story. Hopefully, the LEAD Foundation will assist me in my plans of achieving higher bars of
