This is Joris Clermonts, a 17-year-old athlete from the Netherlands, currently living in Helmond. Joris started playing tennis at the age of five. Although he also practiced many other sports, he quickly realized that tennis suited him best. What began at a local club soon became more serious at a tennis academy.

What makes Joris special as a person is that he gives people energy, because he is always positive and full of life himself. People always feel different when Joris is around.

What really sets Joris apart as an athlete is that he will always give one hundred percent until he achieves the goal he has set his mind on. It doesn’t matter how long it takes or what it requires, Joris will always go all in to reach his goals.

In the future, Joris hopes to continue developing himself in the U.S. not only as a tennis player but also as a student. He wants to bring out the best in himself, follow his passion, and build a future in which he can make an impact both within sports and beyond.
