Why Choose US College?

Choosing a college to be a student athlete at can be a very scary thought at first and being from the other side of the world it wasn't easy to get my head around it at first. Although the deeper I dived into it the easier it was to make a decision to go to a college in the US. Being a student athlete can offer a range of different benefits not just for your athletic growth but also personal growth.

First and foremost being able to get a top education and play at the semi professional level is a gift and is something that not many people can say they did. It builds a foundation for your future and gives you the ability to seek long-term career opportunities that you wouldn't get otherwise.

Athletically, college is a great stepping stone to for your professional career if that is what you're looking to do post graduation. Especially for tennis the level just keeps increasing every year, there are now around 15 former men's college players in the top 100 and 5 former women players in the top 100. This is not even including all those players outside the top 100. So, having the ability to play college tennis now offers you a unique platform to enhance your athletic ability incredibly and also gain access to top quality facilities and coaching. College not only provides a top-tier education but also a chance to compete at a high level, with the potential to transition into a professional career if that is your goal.

College also allows you to grow as a person as it offers you unique life experiences. Through balancing academics and athletics, building lifelong friendships, and engaging in diverse cultural and social activities, college helps you develop essential life skills such as discipline, resilience, and adaptability, preparing you for challenges both on and off the court.

Choosing to be a student-athlete at a college in the U.S. opens doors to you both athletically and allows you to grow as a personal. US College is not for everyone and not every College is the same. Getting the right fit, meeting your expectations and having the support are all important preparation for what will be one of the most decisions you'll ever make. Ultimately the experience helps you develop as an individual, teaching discipline, resilience, and time management while offering a network of lifelong friendships and career opportunities. All of this while also shaping you into a well-rounded person ready for life’s next challenges.
