Why Tennis College in U.S.A?


It is a dream for a lot of tennis players to play for a college in America!
I have been playing tennis for 10 years and it was a dream for me to be a "pro." I traveled and played a lot of tennis. Tennis was the only topic on my mind. I was waking up and going to sleep consumed by tennis. But it was a time when I had to make a decision for myself: to keep playing tennis or to study, and it is a very hard decision to make for any players. I didn’t want to lose these feelings that were making me happy in my life. I would like to emphasize the importance that college tennis plays in the development of the player. 
             Through the years I have seen how parents are being misguided into pushing their kids towards the professional ranking. The ones that suffer for this misdirection are the kids, they end up losing too many matches in the early rounds of futures and challengers level events and as a result lose confidence and their progress is way too slow. By attending a good Division II or a major University the kid will be exposed to very good competition and excellent coaching and as a result move forward both academically and tennis wise.  So, I and my mom made a decision that I must to get a degree for my future life. We heard about this company, that sends athletes to America to play and study; and we thought it could be a perfect idea for me to keep playing, participate at the tournaments, and study and the same time. 

It is such a great opportunity for international athletes to get almost a free a degree by playing their sport. I will explain you how does this process go. The company that I went though "4rsport", submit your information, resume and video online at their website, where all the coaches from America have an access to see your profile and your video of playing. Coaches  have all the right to contact and start recruiting the player. Coach and player talk about scholarships such as tennis and academic; about housing and tuition. If both side agreed, school send the I 20 form to a player and in a couple months a player is at school. 
   It happened with me and with a lot of my friends who got accepted in college in America. It is a amazing chance for a person to develop yourself in different country.
