Audyssie J. ’27

Girls’ Varsity Tennis

From a young age, Audyssie J. ’27 has looked up to her older sister. At just five years old, she picked up a tennis racket to follow in her sister’s footsteps and quickly fell in love with the sport. Her dedication to tennis even led to a period of homeschooling, allowing her to focus on honing her skills and pursuing her passion.

As a freshman new to Campbell Hall last year, Audyssie achieved the remarkable feat of earning the 2023 Gold Coast First Team All-League Singles title. This year, she qualified for the individuals tournament and advanced to the finals during the qualifier. However, she suffered an injury which forced her to forfeit the match. While heartbroken, she didn’t want to risk further injury and jeopardize the crucial playoffs. This decision paid off when the Girls’ Varsity Tennis team won the 2024 CIF-Southern Section Division 2 Championship for the first time since 2018!
Audyssie dedicates countless hours to her craft, practicing nearly every day with her team or a coach. Competitive tennis can be physically and mentally demanding, but she credits her success to resilience and determination. “You have to have a strong mindset of never giving up,” Audyssie advised. “Tennis is a mental sport, and you always have to give one hundred percent and try not to give up any shots.” While she ran Varsity Track as a freshman, Audyssie now focuses exclusively on tennis, competing year-round with her club.

Beyond tennis, Audyssie is a multi-talented student balancing a packed schedule. As a professional model and actor, her weekends are often filled with castings and shoots. Her impressive acting resume includes a starring role on ABC’s Alex, Inc. alongside Zach Braff, voice work on Disney Junior’s Mira, Royal Detective, and Dreamwork’s Tiny Diamond Goes Back to School. She continues to work in commercials and plans to return to acting in a greater capacity in the future.

Balancing academics, athletics, and professional pursuits isn’t always easy, but Audyssie has developed strategies to stay focused. She often takes a few quiet moments to plan her tasks and leans on her mom for help organizing her time. Though not as often as she’d like, Audyssie still manages to carve out time to spend with family and friends. She loves English classes and all forms of writing and has an interest in science, particularly Biology.

Next year, Audyssie and her teammate Sofia W. ’26, Campbell Hall’s top-ranked singles players, will lead the team as co-captains. Looking ahead, Audyssie aspires to play tennis at a Division 1 college. To reach this goal, she plans to compete in tournaments and train intensively during the off-season to increase her UTR ranking.

“In order to excel in tennis, you have to really want to play because it takes so much dedication to really excel in the sport,” she said. “You have to be committed.” With her unwavering focus and passion, Audyssie is well on her way to achieving her dreams.
