Sponsor Andres Martin

Why you should sponsor me for your next influencer campaign?

My name is Andres Martin, I’m 17 years old, and have been playing tennis most of my life. I began the sport here in our local Sterling on the Lake tennis courts when I was 5 years old; little did I know it would become my obsession. Coming from a very competitive and supportive family my parents allowed me to pursue many sports when I was younger. Eventually, finding tennis, I was becoming a good player but never really had a fond interest. My parents however, pushed me to go out and practice everyday which led to the enjoyment of the sport. Having outgrown most of the kids locally, I needed a coach who would help me rise to the next level. Based off of a referral, I stumbled across an Indian man who was wicked good at the game. Murry Lokasundaram has shed his wisdom to me from playing on the pro tour and being one of the best juniors in the country. He has taught me many things including work ethic, discipline, and problem solving. Throughout it all we have become great friends and are still constantly working to improve when I am home. I train out of Hilton Head Island, at Smith Stearns Tennis Academy. I board there amongst other tennis players who share the same desires as me. I usually practice about 5 to 6 hours a day, which includes drills and fitness. This serves as great preparation for the tournaments ahead. Due to extensive travel, nationally and internationally, I do online school to have a more flexible schedule. In the past two years I have been all across the country for training and tournaments. For example, I was able to travel to Colombia, Spain, and Canada to play international junior events. Out of these tournaments, one of my best results was in December of last year winning the Winter National Championships in boy’s 18 and under doubles, while making the quarterfinals of singles. Since then, I’ve had great results in tournaments like in Indian Wells, California when making the quarterfinals in singles and semifinals in doubles of Easter Bowl. Currently, I am 1 in the State of Georgia, 11 in the country, and 300 in the world for boy’s 18 and under. My goal for next year is to be able to qualify for the Junior Grand Slams such as Australian, French, Wimbledon, and U.S Open. In order to do this I would have to travel to more international events. This will serve as a great experience for me as I would be competing against the best juniors in the world. Last year, I had a great experience training in Marbella, Spain with Alejandro Davidovich, the former junior Wimbledon champion. He is a very skilled player and I hope to reach the same heights as him one day. After highschool, I will be attending Georgia Tech to play division 1 tennis which will evolve my game to the next level. Hopefull y, after four year of college I’ll be able to become a professional tennis player. I would love to see how far I can make it on the pro tour. A quick tip for any tennis players out there, remember to never get discouraged and keep practicing, hard work always beats talent!!
