Against the Odds...

As we all know, many athletes train hard from very young ages. Now and then I hear a story about an athlete who waits until his high school years to try a sport and manages to prevail with success. If you saw The Blind Side movie, you know precisely what I'm talking about.

To my surprise, I stumbled upon one of these intriguing stories last week that we can all learn from. Basically, an inexperienced high school tennis coach pulled together a group of inexperienced tennis players. Do you want to hear the result? Read the article here (scroll down to "Brookhaven").

This is a nice reminder that pure heart, determination, and effort can go a long way. And it is quite inspiring when a coach and all the team members have these traits. Nice!
