Whiz Kid: Corey Werner

Who do you look up to?

I look up to my parents. They have always been great role models, teaching me good morals and ethics to live by. They have really shaped me into the person I am today, I don't know what I would do without them.

What do you like to do during your free time?

I like to do many things. I love to play tennis of course. I love to follow the automobile industry, I know the names and specs of most cars on the road. I also like photography and take pictures outside from time to time.

Who is your favorite tennis player?

My favorite tennis player is Novak Djokovic. I really like him because not only is he a great tennis player, but is also a great guy off the court. He is someone you can look up to as a tennis player and a normal guy. He is also is a really funny guy.

What is your favorite thing about tennis?

My favorite thing about tennis is that it is a sport in which you have to use your head as well as athletic ability. During the game, I love having to use my mind to think about where your opponent is going to place the ball, and where you should place the ball. 

What are some of your goals for the future in tennis?

Obviously, for anyone playing a sport their goal is most likely to go pro. For me, I just want to keep on playing the sport until I get old. It is one of those sports that you can enjoy for a long time in your life.
