My own testimonial
I received a phone call at work informing me that my nine year old just finished winning her first tennis match.
I asked Hanna: “Did you read your cards?”
“Nope!”, was the response.
“What do you mean Nope?” I said.
“Oh...well, I had them in my mind,” she quickly reassured me.
“Well I guess you’re still on the team!”, I said. “Ok, let me talk to Mom.”
“So how did it go?” I asked my wife.
“It was a riot,” she said. “3 hours and 15 minutes. At 10:20 p.m., the lights went out. It took 5 minutes before the lights came back on and they could finish a third set tie-breaker.
As Hanna and Madison walked out, Madison said to Hanna: ‘I’m so nervous I can’t hit the ball!’
Hanna looked at her and said: ‘Remember the two B’s!’
Madison shouted: ‘Ok, ... but what are they?’
Hanna looked at her and said: ‘Breathe and Believe!’
The two B’s!!!
To have her choose, on her own, such important words and make them work for her...that is success! I didn’t tell, lecture, or pressure her. I simply gave her a pack of cards, and she did the rest. Yes, I admit that before the cards I helped instill the basic philosophy of these cards. But after raising 7 children, time has weathered my compulsion to mold thinking. Helping them think positively on their own without my help is parental success!

6th Grade MUS Track Team
Thanks sooo MUCH for leading our 6th grade parent-team meeting today. It was AWESOME! I'll use the same format tomorrow with 5th grade team! I believe the ABC's of Competition Presentation with the Pro Zone Playing cards will be a VERY valuable tool for my athletes NOT only when participating in sports BUT also in life. I will incorporate these power words in our program for all my PE classes! The kids really seemed interested and loved the TRACK Pro-Zone cards. I think it also focused the parents on what they can do to help prepare the kids. Thanks, AGAIN!
