I take issue with the comment above that one should go to Harvard if they want to do something outside of tennis. The vast majority of Stanford tennis players go on to very successful careers outside of sports…Some examples include: Mark Z. Jacobson is Director of the Atmosphere/Energy Program and Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University and very prominent alternative energy scholar, Alex Clayton, venture capitalist who appeared on Forbes 30 under 30 list, Craig Johnson, former vice chair at JMP Group, Geoff Abrams, highly regarded orthopedic surgeon, and Jim Hodges, Delta pilot.
All of these players played on NCAA championship teams, but they were worked hard in the classroom too. Please don’t perpetuate the “dumb jock” myth that every athlete except those at the Ivies coast through. Simply not true.
