Audrey Bennett
Hometown: Carmel, Indiana
College Commitment: Millsaps College
Originally from Carmel, Indiana, Audrey started at the academy four years ago when she realized she wanted to pursue tennis on a competitive level. Having taken up the game at a later age than most, Audrey’s hard work and determination have given her the opportunity to achieve success very quickly.
Audrey recognizes that all of the coaches have been instrumental in her success, especially Billy who has really helped develop her into the tennis player she is today. She has gained a confidence in herself that she never thought she would achieve. Audrey’s quick response to instruction has enabled her to improve at such a fast rate. She has moved up hundreds of ranking spots on Tennis Recruiting to a current career high of #324. She continues to get better every day and will end up being one of the most improved players to come through the academy!
Some of Audrey’s most memorable experiences at the academy have been her times in chaperoned coaching traveling to the tournaments with her friends and coaches. Her friendships and memories that she has created are something that she will always cherish.
Audrey’s tennis accomplishment she is most proud of is becoming a 3 star player on Tennis recruiting and knowing that all of her hard work to get better has given her many opportunities to continue improving her game and excelling in school as well. Audrey is not only a motivated tennis player but also a brilliant student. She is a member of the National Honor Society and has been involved in hundreds of hours of community service including a special 10 day Mission Trip to Kimo, Peru where she painted buildings and took care of young orphans. Audrey is also a member of the Community Bible Church and participates in Sunday evening bible study with her family.
