Pictured here with a custom made trophy given to her by Advantage Kids participants Leila and Daniel, Coach Sue is being recognized as the "BEST Coach" . . . and we agree!
Susan is what we in tennis call a "lifer." Not only is she an avid 65+ tennis player herself, she is also an enthusiastic and supportive Advantage Kids coach in Meredith and Moultonborough. Currently, during the autumn months, she is driving four hours round trip to coach on Monday and Tuesday nights. That's commitment.
In addition to being the best coach ever, Susan sits on the Advantage Kids board of directors and advises our John Donovan Jr. Memorial Scholarship Fund for advanced beginner and intermediate lessons for children who wish to continue improving their tennis game even after their Tennis PLUS intro experience.
She never misses an event. She never misses a meeting. All quarantine and all summer, she never missed a deadline to create tennis-at-home videos for our virtual Tennis PLUS facebook group. She is the most reliable, loving, surefooted woman - and we are grateful to have her.
Thanks, Coach Sue, for being the BEST!
The sport of tennis has been rated highest for youth to do better academically, be less likely to utilize substances and more likely to attend college. Science has proven the profound effect that mindfulness practices have on children’s abilities to connect with self and others, focus on tasks and to self-regulate emotions.

In the heart of every competition, it's the spirit, dedication, and journey of the participants that truly define success. This was vividly showcased at the recent Gilford Hill's MB Tractor/PSG Singles and Doubles Open, where Advantage Kids' very own Simon Kuczkowski and Logan Mack took to the courts not just to play, but to embody the values and resilience fostered by AK. Let's celebrate the enduring spirit and positive change Simon, Logan, and AK embody!
