Virginia Peck-Phillips '13 Recruiting Profile

I would like to emphasize the important characteristics in my tennis history.  As a junior, I played primarily in France, the ITF and COSAT tournaments up until 2010.  I was home schooled through my freshman year and therefore did not play varsity tennis until my sophomore year of high school. I love tennis and am determined to play my best and be my best, both in high school and college.  I would like to play competitively in college and am looking for a good "match" up with a college.  I also am seriously interested in my academics.  My dream is to be doctor and work in Doctor without Borders.  I am fluent in French (a requirement) and have already served as a "doctor" in Haiti doing wound care at Mother Theresa's Medical Clinic.  Most of my non-tournament periods are spent in service of this sort.  While playing in the COSAT on the ITF tour in South America, I met many South American players (who were great!).  But I also experienced first hand the poverty and deprivation of the children there.  I currently work in a tennis ministry to bring tennis to those who are impoverished, but more importantly I want to help those children who are in dire need of medical attention.  This is my dream.  To play the sport I love, to bring tennis to those who do not have the opportunity I have had, and then to help those through my (ultimately medical) education.  I hope to hear from a coach who appreciates my experience and is interested in helping me work towards fulfilling my dreams.

I am interested in playing in a competitive league, and am eager to work hard to contribute to the team.  I am open to hearing from any Division and region.   A scholarship would help my family.  My intended major is in the sciences with a minor in music.
