Racket And Hope Tennis Academy

racket and hope tennis academy

London

Growing up I wasn’t the richest, but I had a rich family in spirit. Standing here with 19 championships is something I never thought would happen. I went on a court just with a ball and a racket and with a hope. — Serena Williams The Racket + Hope Tennis Academy was founded through an epic love and admiration of the Williams sisters, Venus + Serena, and is devoted to passing on their sheer greatness and determination to the players of the future. Racket + Hope Founder Mary Ubah, an LTA-certified coach, aims to help underprivileged and unexposed children master every skill in the game of tennis. Ubah has personally seen dozens of talented athletic kids socially and economically impacted in their ability to pursue sport and her goal is, therefore, to bridge that gap by motivating kids to dream and believe in themselves. In addition to a coaching blueprint laid out by the Williams sisters, Ubah incorporates elements of fun and friendship into her instruction. Racket + Hope Tennis Academy provides all children who come to the courts with skills instruction at a low cost, enabling them unimpeded access and leveling the playing field for players of all backgrounds. By following the great success of Serena and Venus, Racket + Hope empowers youngsters to hit the courts with their racket and hope, believing they can become tomorrow’s professional super stars!

1 in 6 of us is experiencing a mental health challenge right now. We think humanity can do better. Modern life can at times leave every one of us stretched very thin or near breaking point. If you are anxious, depressed or stressed, we are here to help you change that. No one should have to do it alone — we know firsthand how very hard it is to help yourself. But if you’ve tried all the obvious things (like healthy diet, good sleep hygiene, journalling, therapy and exercise), real change might involve trying something you haven’t tried before. If the thought of that is exhausting, our founder Ryan’s story might just inspire you to start: Ryan Nell on stage at Wilderness Festival leading a mass meditation Ryan Nell Founder of Levitate. I spent the first half of my life trying to hide my anxiety from everyone. Although I was outwardly successful, with lots going for me, I was really unhappy and didn’t know why. I didn’t want my friends, family or colleagues to worry, but hiding it took huge energy. Inwardly, I was constantly exhausted because my mind would never stop running. Unsurprisingly, my twenties and thirties were beset by frequent crises, bad dreams and doomed relationships. Not talking to anyone about it, left me feeling really lonely and isolated. I was yearning to feel whole again. I tried many an escape — travelling, quitting jobs, changing partners, and probably drinking too much — but I learnt the hard way that running away only led to more anxiety, worry and struggle. Then, almost by chance, I found meditation. A friend told me about a retreat, and, though I was skeptical, I must have also been rather desperate, because I signed up and went. And over the course of one weekend, I fell in love with the practice. Back in London, and back at work, I found that the meditation apps were great but I couldn’t stick to them and I didn’t want to be on my phone. There always seemed to be something more important to do. But I found that practising in a room with a brilliant teacher and fellow students brought mindfulness to life. It’s not an exaggeration to say that meditating in a group transformed me. I wanted it to be easier for other folk to benefit without so much agonising soul searching along the way. And without the dogma or religious trappings that had been so off-putting to my younger cynical self at the start. I couldn’t find a place like that, so I felt compelled to build it myself, to start Levitate and share the joy with people just like you.

Cullompton

Sarah found herself having to find schooling for her three young daughters as her family was relocated around the world through work commitments. Her experiences in places such as Ireland, Kenya, Abu Dhabi and Bahrain as well as on her return to the UK, meant that she understood all too well the stresses that come with moving to a new country and the potential for emotional turmoil when helping young children to settle into a new school in a different country. Since it was founded, Educatus has assisted hundreds of parents moving to the UK and Ireland from elsewhere in the world. The company has focussed on building a dedicated team of consultants with experience in both UK and International education. Families are introduced to Educatus through the Global Mobility Industry, corporate clients and through word of mouth leading to discrete assignments helping individual relocating families. For relocating families, Educatus offers a highly personalised and professional service, aimed at exploring every option within the chosen strand of education – be it private or state education, nursery, special education, college or university. The consultancy team understand that relocating is a challenge for the whole family, and use their educational experience to offer the right level of support and offering a range of services, all designed with the family in mind. For global mobility and corporate organisations relocating employees with families, the challenge lies in showing the potential assignee the benefits of the range of education options available to them in the UK. Educatus provides an expert solution to an issue that can potentially derail an otherwise successful employee relocation project. The team understand that for parents, the decision to accept an international assignment can hinge on whether their children’s education and wellbeing can be assured. With this in mind, Educatus delivers their service with a careful balance tipped towards empathy, but always aimed at managing expectations and delivering results. For corporations, Educatus offers a range of consulting options focussed on policy assistance and benchmarking, educational site assessment, group move advice and location surveys for schooling solutions. The team can even organise presentations to explain the many educational options available in the UK.
