Student Tennis Research Paper

One of my proudest achievements is joining the Varsity Tennis team. A lot of people told me that learning to play tennis at an advanced level within a year was impossible, but I payed them no heed and went to the park every day to practice. It was a rigorous year of tennis, but the key to success for me was with stubborn determination. I got blisters, callouses, and a couple of injuries, but all of my hard work paid off when I saw my name on the list.

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

It was my freshman year when I first found out how much of an impact a tennis captain can make on a fellow player. I had just lost one of the first challenge matches I'd ever have and I was absolutely devastated. It was against a girl that completely destroyed me, the resulting score was 0-10. At the time, I thought that this was going to be how all challenges matches were going to be and that I just wasn't cut out for the rigors of high school tennis. I walked off the court, trying not to cry and I eventually failed. Abby Peoples spotted me, ran over, and comforted me in a way that didn't make me feel embarrassed by the fact that I had teared up over a simple challenge match. She helped me learn the value of losing and the strength of confidence.

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

I am involved in many clubs, sports, and volunteering opportunities including tennis, track and field, art service club, ceramics club, arrupe club, W.I.S.H club, and Landow Performance training. All of these activities have taught how to be a leader in and out of Regis. Specifically, club tennis and Regis tennis have taught me how to work as a team with my peers. During the Regis tennis season, freshman year, my partner and I lost many matches, which crushed our confidence. However, through supporting and helping each other, we overcame our loses and improved our game. This applies to NHS, because my perseverance and patience allowed me to not only regain confidence while playing, but it allowed me to grow my character. Additionally, I am now able to see the goodness in everyone I encounter from playing tennis. Outside of Regis, I am involved in a club tennis league at the Pinery where I have taken on some leadership roles including encouraging my friends to join, and showing my peers that perseverance and training to pay off. In addition to tennis, the other activities that I am involved in have allowed me to learn how to quickly solve problems and conflicts. Since childhood, I have had a chance to develop my leadership, organizational skills, and problem solving through all of these

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

Along with NHS, being actively involved in varsity sports throughout high school has made me gain a “work hard” attitude. This attitude of constantly working above and beyond will carry over to my future education and career to help me succeed. As a two-year captain of both volleyball and cheerleading, I have learned to be a team leader while also being a team player. High school sports have instilled lifelong lessons in me such as working hard, being responsible, and being a leader, that I know will aid me in by success in academics and a

Since 1998, The Villages Tennis Club had supported the Silver Creek High School’s Tennis Team with racks, balls and sometimes footwear. It was only natural that helping two of these student’s each year, begin their journey in higher education.

After joining the girls’ tennis team at Hazleton Area High School, I unexpectedly took over the top position. Despite my individual

Always willing to adapt to any given situation, I aspire to make things as convenient as possible for everyone. I have been an avid team member the varsity tennis team all throughout my high school years. Consistently playing mixed doubles with my partners all being upperclassmen, I had reached the point where I became the partner-less upperclassman. In need of a new partner, my coach and I discussed potentials, but reached no solid conclusion. Aware of a new tennis team member, an incoming sophomore, my coach turned to me as a guide and mentor to help him feel comfortable.

Will, will defines a tennis player and tells if a player will be able to win or a lose a match. When a tennis player can break their opponents will to play they have won the match. Tennis all started for myself when my friend got me a tennis racquet for my fourteenth birthday and from then on the rest is history. The Knoxville High School tennis team has picked two tournament victories and three runner ups during my time on the team. During my time playing tennis I have played the numbers 4, 3, 2, and will play 1 this year.

Four of five senior tennis players are new to the sport this year. Shaun Petrovich, Matt Larsen, Dylan Ion and Grant Anderson all decided to join the tennis team for their senior year.
