So how much do junior players really improve as they get ready to make their college choices?

Since 1997, Donovan Tennis Strategies (DTS) has been helping players and their families navigate the recruiting process to find the school and program that is the best possible fit. At the outset of our engagement with a client, we suggest a list of schools that are sensible ones to consider given the recruit’s level of tennis, his or her academic level and other factors potentially under consideration such as an expected major in college, as well as a particular size and location of school. Recruits, rightly so, often start the process highly motivated and optimistic about how much they will improve, and how much their ranking and rating will go up, and how that will afford them an opportunity to play for their dream school, or at least one of their top choices. One of our tougher tasks is making sure recruits are being realistic about how much progress they can expect to achieve during the recruiting process.
