US Open Tennis: Arthur Ashe’s legacy
Posted by Mary | Filed under Innovators, Lifestyle, Personal Development, Videos
My favorite end of summer ritual is going to the Flushing Meadows for the U.S. Open. The hallmark of the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center is Arthur Ashe stadium. Named for the great player and a guy- who got it. Ashe understood that most kids who play tennis (or any other sport) growing up, will not go on to be professional athletes. He encouraged participation because he understood the value of the life lessons learned on the court. In Philadelphia, his name and his mission live on. Take a look. -Mary
