About Athlete
One of the advantages I have compared to other student-athletes is that I am very good at combining schoolwork and training. Over the years I have been training as much as I possibly can while also maintaining good grades. I am a hard worker both when it comes to tennis and school. When there is something I want to get done or improve, I won’t stop until it is done.

Additional sporting info
In addition to playing tennis, I also played a lot of soccer and handball, and a competed in cross-country skiing during my childhood. Even though I wanted to keep doing all of the sports, I had to make a choice because there wasn’t enough time in a week to train and compete in all of them.

What makes you different?
I am a friendly person who gets along with most people. When I am in the right environment, I have an extreme drive and focus towards improving as a person and as a tennis player. During my childhood I was always playing multiple sports which has led to me being healthy and athletic.
Why do you want to compete in college?
I want to see how far I can develop my tennis, and I think college in the US is the best way to do that while also getting a good education.
College Goals?
Graduate with a good education. Meet a lot of new people and make friends. Compete at a very high level of tennis, for titles and championships in the name of my school.
