OVERALL ABILITY ON THE COURT:

Since I started playing tennis, I have been a disciplined person and player, with goals to achieve, focus, and character that is reflected in both my personality and on the court with my shots. I consider myself a fighter. I do not lose a single point or match, since tennis is full of variables and advantages that must be leveraged. I am a great teammate, and I love to motivate; I always support and encourage my teammates. I like working as a team, since the feeling of being motivated and motivating is incredible. I firmly believe that it gives you strength and confidence. I am also a player who listens and follows the instructions provided in any game. I also emphasize that I quickly look for strategies and solutions in matches, both singles and doubles.

STRENGTHS ON THE COURT:

I stand out for my physical resistance and intensity on the court, which allows me to maintain a match pace until the end. Also, given the intensity with which I move, I manage to achieve clean and confident shots. My agility on the court allows me to move very well, both sideways and forward, which benefits me in defending effectively. I also perform well at the net, reaching drop shots quickly. With this, I manage to maintain a balanced net and baseline.

I’m an aggressive player, allowing them to hit close to the baseline. Another of my strengths is my forehand-volley combinations. I have a powerful, deep forehead. I control the timing of the point in a balanced way, allowing me to build up the point with heavy, deep balls to achieve a short ball and attack it on the forehand in most cases, or else with the backhand to then finish at the net with a volley or smash.

On serving, I like to hit either slice or topspin, which helps me open up the court and/or make my opponent uncomfortable. My serve is very helpful when playing doubles, as it gives my partner space to attack at the net.

HOBBIES AND PERSONAL INTEREST

I enjoy outdoor activities, all sports that connect with nature. I like cooking and reading. It brings me peace and relaxes me a lot. I like discovering new places and learning about their history and culture. I enjoy sharing these kinds of things with my family and friends to have a good time together, since they are the most important people in my life.

DESCRIBE YOURSELF AS A PERSON

I consider myself a determined person with a strong character. I like helping people and motivating them to give their best. I am a strong-willed person, committed and a fighter with my goals and activities. This gives me discipline and a lot of motivation to overcome any obstacle along the way. I am a person with Catholic values; I believe in God and family. I enjoy learning new things to expand my knowledge and culture. I am excited to enter university and grow personally and professionally, as well as continue practicing my sport and contribute to the university's athletic growth.
