Every year, the Austin Tennis Academy sends quite a few of its players on to play collegiate tennis. That’s an incredible accomplishment, especially when you consider there are more than 160-thousand teenagers nationwide competing at the high school level and only about 20-thousand spots available on teams across all levels of college tennis.  One of ATA’s seniors who found a way to make his dream of playing college tennis a reality is featured this month on Tennis Recruiting Network.

In fact, Tucker Taylor’s story is what inspired the writer to do a feature on him and his college choice for the website dedicated to the recruiting of junior tennis players. Back in September, Taylor committed to play for Roger Williams University and was interviewed by Rhiannon Potkey about his decision. Potkey said she had not done a story on Roger Williams before, and following her interview with Taylor, decided to showcase Taylor to help prove to other players that there are so many different options/opportunities for playing college tennis.

If looking only at the numbers, the odds about being able to play college tennis can feel overwhelming for junior tennis players. However, Potkey’s article on Taylor drives home the idea that there is a place for all different types players.  The key: being willing to go down the road less traveled in order to find your perfect destination.
