What is your best memory of your athletic career?
“Playing in front of my whole tennis club on the main court during one of the biggest tennis events of the year.”
Why should we recruit you?
“You should recruit me, because when I am in an environment of hard work, dedication, and just highly-skilled tennis players, like an NCAA Division I Tennis Program, will push me to the limit and I can increase my level a lot.”
What makes you different from other players?
“I have the ability to play any sport at a high level so I can bring that experience to tennis. Since I can play a lot of different sports at a high level, I believe that I have the ability to adapt very quickly to different scenarios and situations. I will use this ability during my college career.”
What are your academic goals and your overall goals after graduation?
“My goal will be to do the best I can, so trying to get the best academic grades possible and work hard in practice to show the coach that I deserve to play in the Top 6 line-up. I do not really know yet what my goals are after graduation, but I would like to try to go on the professional tour if possible. However, I will first do a master’s degree while getting a graduate assistant position and then I will decide whether I go professional or if start finding a job in relation with my mathematics degree.”
What else should we know about you?
“I love sports, but I also love socializing and being with my family.”
Did Same Dream USA and your agent, Nic, help you to meet your goals? In what way was he the most helpful? Is there something we could do better next time?
“Nic has definitely helped me meet my goals and he was great during the whole process. I thought that he was very professional during the entire recruitment process and also gave me a lot of university options, which I did not have with my old agency. I had the choice between 10 to 12 universities, so I was not scared to not find any schools. I was fortunate enough to decide on a school that would perfectly match my academic and athletic profile. All of these schools also were fitting into my overall budget. I also liked the fact, I had Zoom calls with ALL the coaches (Nic was also in the Zoom call so help me out in case I would forget some important questions) which helped me to decide where I really wanted to go. I wanted to go somewhere, where I could feel a good connection with the coach. Finally, Nic has helped me a lot by giving his advice and opinions about each university giving me all the pros and cons of each university with every specific detail of the 10-12 universities we had.
With his 8 years of experience, as a college division II and division I player, assistant coach, and admission counselor, I trusted him a lot and accepted all his recommendations and suggestions. He was a perfect guide for me and my family. He was also available 24/7 which helped to have efficient communication with him, very important with all the paperwork we had to do and the constant contact with the coaches. We can see that Nic cares a lot about the happiness of the players and making sure we are meeting our goals and objectives. He is a great guy that could perfectly be one of my friends since he is really nice. This job agent perfectly matches his personality. I would definitely recommend him to my friends or players that want to go to the US. An agent needs to be someone that cares about the player’s future success and not only about placing them in a school and that’s it. Overall, it was a great process and I would say that the worst part was listening to his 5-7 min audio messages on WhatsApp. I am just joking. Better too much information, than not enough. Keep doing what you are doing, you are doing amazing. Thanks for everything, you were awesome Nic. Without you, I would have never realized my dream of joining a competitive Division I school. Elon was always a dream for me, and you made it possible thanks to your hard work and great help. You will definitely be part of my future success!
