FROM JASON LINDERMAN, HOT SHOTS AMBASSADOR….

The following email was received from a parent from Jasons program. At 10am on a rough day it made me smile and cry all at the same time! Dont ever underestimate your capacity to change lives!

From Jason!

Below is an email I recieved highlighting the success of what I learnt from you. I am  having great success with Hot Shots and really enjoying working with this age group Its working and we have loads of enthusiastic kids and parents!

Thanks!

From a Mum!

“My 7 year old lost his way this year. He was unwell and admitted to hospital for a ti m e. He lost some of his motor skills, and his confidence. His behaviour became very difficult due to frustration.  He lost his enthusiasm for ball sports. Everyone who knew him felt  sad for a little fellow who was regarded as being a happy boy with a real spark for life; who rollicked through his days at 100 m iles per hour. Through the support of his Hot Shots coach and the suitability of the programme for development of ball skills, he has regained his ” mojo” and is focussing again. He recently enjoyed participating in the December RED BALL Challenge 2010. He (and his 9yo sister) beca me so enthused about tennis that they would get up at 6a m , have their beds made, set the breakfast table and pack their school bags on tennis days. The best thing for him about the Red Ball Challenge was being part of a team and helping each other and going out and having fun together. I wonder if this is what Pat Rafter is after for the next generation of kids that wants to play for Australia …being able to bottle that enthusiasm for the team ; playing well individually but also being able to celebrate a team mates’ success as well.”

From a very appreciative mum .
