Beyond Hours and Dollars …A Career Guide for Rackets Professionals
G’day tennis professionals,
Greg Moran was an outstanding teaching professional for over forty years
at the Four Seasons Racquet Club in Wilton, Connecticut.
He has written a terrific book entitled Beyond Hours and Dollars which
he offers at no charge for teaching pros.
I’m hoping this morsel from his book might inspire professionals to believe
that the keys tennis pros hold in their hands can unlock many invaluable doors.
“Success relates to personal achievements and goals while significance
is about contributing to something larger than one’s self and positively
affecting others’ lives.
Richard Sperling founded ACE ing Autism in 2008. His goal was to help kids with
autism by improving social connections through affordable tennis programming.
The program now helps 6,000 kids and has 180 locations nationwide.
Ed Weiss was an All American in college. He became a lawyer and taught
tennis for fun. After retiring from his law practice, he devoted himself fully
to teaching tennis. He regularly volunteers in a local program teaching
under privileged kids and coaches a high school team.
Liz Odera is the founder and Director of The Sadili Oval Tennis Academy..
The academy is located near the Sadili slum in Africa. Liz brings kids from
the slum to her academy to learn tennis and has partnered with a local school
where kids can get an education. Through her work, dozens of kids have received
college scholarships to American colleges and hundreds more have moved on
to lead productive lives.
Never forget that each time you interact with your students, you have an
opportunity …and responsibility to impact their lives. With juniors, you can
teach them a game and help instill values that last a lifetime.”
Thank you, Greg! What a life of significance you’ve created.
