Coach White, The Epitome of Excellence!
Most can fondly recall a special teacher or coach in childhood who made a lasting impression on them. One who gave a boy or girl words of encouragement, or someone who helped a youngster see the value of their special gifts. For many Youth Tennis Advantage (YTA) youngsters this person will be Coach Thomas White.
With more than 10 years as a Life Coach instructor, Coach Thomas White has dedicated his time and talent at the Hunter's Point YTA site in San Francisco, to help youngsters traverse successfully through difficulties and help them achieve the excellence in every aspect of their lives. Life skills are incorporated in every aspect of YTA programs. The coaches andmentors blend discussions and practices of valuable life skills in everything they do. This type of constant repetition promotes positive values, healthy habits, and real life discussions that add to the development of the whole child.
Under Coach White's instruction YTA partnership with First Serve, Inc., a provider of internationally renowned Life Skills curriculum, has continued to grow with plans to implement seven more sites throughout 2008. YTA also is looking to Coach White to become site director at YTA's BearTrax program site at the UC Berkeley campus once the plans for doing so have been approved. For now though Coach White will continue doing a stellar job of providing children who experience the disadvantages and limitations associated with poverty, with mentorship, guidance, and tennis instruction so that they know they can achieve what ever they set their sights on.
