Welcome to Season 8, Episode 43 of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week's guest is Jack Newman, founder of the Austin Tennis Academy in Austin, Texas.

Not only is the ATA turning out excellent tennis players, but it is also turning out excellent Human Beings. The academy was founded with the idea of using tennis to teach children how to be good World Citizens, and Jack and his staff impart those lessons each day through work on and off the court. 

You will hear Jack talk about the community service efforts he and ATA are committed to on a daily basis as well as how the academy provides opportunities for the junior players and their families to learn and grow together.
