Coached football and tennis on a part-time basis for Fit Kids America. As some of you know, these are two of my favorite sports. So, as you can imagine, it was great fun helping kids learn and become as passionate as I am about these great team and individual lifelong sports. I hope to do more coaching for Fit Kids America as time allows.
