Tennis College Scholarship Application 2008
My name is Phoebe Walker and I am currently looking for a full scholarship to an NCAA Div 1 University starting in the Fall of 2008. I am currently ranked within the top 5 in my State and I am ranked within the top 90 Australian female players, which continues to climb now that I have completed my schooling. I compete at the highest club level in my state as the number one player in the team and have done so for the past two years with considerable success. For more then 5 years I have been a member of the South Australian State Tennis Program in numerous talent squads and the South Australian Optus Tennis Academy, where at one stage I was the only female member selected. I was then offered a place in the South Australian Institute of Sport, which is an academy for the highest achieving sports people in the state of South Australia. I contributed to the success of the Marryatville High School Tennis Team. Our Team finished top over the 5 years of my schooling, making us the best tennis school in South Australia. The school was regularly ranked in the top 2 schools Australia wide. I have also attended a Talented Athletes Program Camp. Twice I was invited to attend the Lleyton Hewitt International Tennis Camp, a camp identifying future tennis stars. I was also a member of the Junior Hopman Cup Team. With the recent conclusion of my secondary schooling I am currently preparing to compete in itfs, amts and Satellite Tournaments for the next 6 months so my ranking will continue to climb and I will be ready to perform at my peak for college tennis in America. Tennis has been such a major part of my life that I want to continue playing in the highly competitive environment of intercollegiate tennis in the USA. I have attached a list of most of my awards and accomplishments over the past 5 years. Please let me know if you require further information.

alright thanks for the tip, she goes to Iowa, and what’s with the use of idiot so many times, dude cmon help yourself out and think of something that might actually offend the other guy.
January 29, 2010
Use google idiot
January 29, 2010
You idiot… I already said my piece with this, but if you want to have an ego game I have a few minutes to spare before I practice with some real tennis players. Judge me from my comments all you want, but your the moron if you think I believe in the paradigm of someone not becoming pro rejecting millions of dollars to play higher calibre tennis than at div. 1. Tell me then what college she goes to okay, if you can prove it I’ll look up the roster and see if her name is on the tennis team.
January 29, 2010
Bdubbs09 why would anybody bag someone as you have done for putting a college application on youtube. all you have done is show the world your an asshole, whether you are right is imaterial. By the way I know for a fact she is playing No1 for her Div 1 College and getting solid results which is what she was aiming for and after 4yrs you get a degree and a job you idiot. Before she decided against a pro career she made semis at nationals, was pushing 500-600 world ranked women to 3 sets at 15,
January 29, 2010
shes better then most juniors i’ve seen on youtube. she may not be the best.. but doesn’t mean she isn’t good.
January 29, 2010
Right, and I’m on the pro tour making millions of dollars! It’s all good! Okay since you asked politely I will respect you as a human being, but the never-ending amazing experiences only last for four years honey. Besides if you really do go to an american college then what one? I’ll look up the tennis team if I can and look for Phoebe Walker. Your good, but I practice better than you and haven’t seen you in a competitive match and that is where people’s true colors show.

Bdubbs09, I’m on a full ride scholarship at a Div 1 college in America with wonderful people and I’m having never-ending amazing experiences, what more do I need than that! I’m thankful for what I have, where I’ve made it and what I will continue to do! I’m not too sure what you looked to get out of leaving me such comments but it would be respectful of you to leave it at this.
January 29, 2010
Oh, well I really could care less about this girl getting into college. I’ll humor you, I wanted to see if there were any Junior’s going into the world tour that had matches on youtube. This popped right up and I was just curious. However, if she is going for full scholarships in division one, then she better not have hopes up to high. One they only show form and where she hits. I hit better than that during practice with my coach. Let’s see how well she handles her nerves in a match.
January 29, 2010
I do have to agree with you on some of that.
But i think socoolits2cool is right, constructive criticism is the best..
January 29, 2010
Lol I know I’m gonna get flamed heavily for this but if your ranked 5 in your state then it must not be competitive. I’ve seen asian girls at my club that were only ranked like 400 nationally that would embarass you and they are only 15 years old. btw how many times did you need to retape it to get it the exact desired outcome for those shots.
January 29, 2010
Nvm xDD.
I didn’t know that it helped being loose by spinning the racket between the hits. My bad :O
January 29, 2010
what’s wrong with that? it gets you into a rythm, that’s like asking, why do you bounce the ball, why not just go ahead and serve it?
January 29, 2010
Giving constructive criticism is fine in my oppinion, but when someone just bashes on the players technique is ridiculous!
January 29, 2010
That’s a beautiful backhand you have there, great positioning and footwork, the volley looks very smooth beautiful punching at the ball, the forehand also looks crisp…although i couldnt help notice a few of the balls you hit you fell away from the ball halfway through the stroke…therefore the ball went up…just a little tip…other then that it looks really great! all the very best!
January 29, 2010
don’t try to tell her what to do. she completely outranks you, fact.
January 29, 2010
i went to training high every week for about half a year. my lungs were not grateful
January 29, 2010

January 29, 2010
Jeepers that’s a good serve for a girl. Wow.
January 29, 2010
You’re good but… even if it’s only practice twirling you’re racket like that… is a bit too much
January 29, 2010
LOL!
January 29, 2010
it makes my reaction time like 1/2sec delayed. tryed to do a drill at school on it…
it was suck.
January 29, 2010
