As a kid growing up, I watched my parents’ health slowly decline over time due to poor lifestyle choices. I didn’t want to see that happen to anyone else – especially other kids like me.
I had been lucky enough to develop a passion for sport from a young age, eventually going on to play tennis professionally. After retiring from my career as an athlete, I wanted to share the joy and benefits of sport with other kids just like me. Something as simple as kicking a ball around, having fun and learning simple skills can be the first step towards a sustainable, healthy lifestyle.
I’m happy to say that over the past 13 years, our team of Grasshopper Soccer franchisees have touched the lives of over 3,000,000 young athletes with our programs.
