Helping Players Find Their Perfect Fit: Juan Diego Balao's New Chapter at Indiana University East

At Recruited, we believe that every journey to college tennis is unique—some players have dreamed of it since they were kids, and others discover it later and fall in love with the opportunity.

Case Study: Juan Diego Balao – From Uruguay to Indiana University East

Juan Diego Balao is a talented tennis player from Uruguay who only recently discovered the world of college tennis in the U.S.—but once he did, he was all in.

Over several months, we spoke to schools that matched his goals—solid tennis, good academics, and locations that offered quality of life. One stood out: Indiana University East, an NAIA program that checked every box.

Now committed to IU East, Juan Diego is stepping into an exciting new chapter. He will be training in a competitive environment, living near a major university city, and making the most of this life‑changing opportunity.
