With this post we want to celebrate our 6 month milestone (bornday officially 3 December 2014). We want to say thank you to the wonderful YOUTH SPORTS COMMUNITY comprising of each athlete, parent, coach, friendie, supporter, liker, sharer, commenter, and follower of Heslop Sports!
With the hectic rush of life – we do not make enough time to celebrate the little things. We let them run buy un-noticed. Hitting the pause button, in the spirit of gratefulness and celebration is indeed a necessary ritual needed for consistent progress.
This is exactly what I want to do with this post.
FIRSTLY – A SHOUT-OUT TO ANY ATHLETE, PARENT OF AN ATHLETE, COACH, ETC, WE WOULD BE HONOURED TO FEATURE YOU ON THE BLOG. Please make contact with us: howzit@heslopsports.co.za
Secondly I want to remind myself of the touchstone and vision for this Youth Sports Blog:
Heslop Sports is a vibrant, real time Youth Sports Blog aimed specifically at UP-AND-COMING YOUNG ATHLETES within various sports disciplines. The aim is to:
- Give a voice to young athletes.
- Publish the stories, aspirations, plans, progress, footage, images of up-and-coming young athletes.
- Gather and share motivational material for young athletes.
- Connect young athletes to each other.
- Promote young athletes.
- Celebrate and honour young athletes.
- Encourage parents and coaches of young athletes to share their experiences in the sports arena.
Ultimately to create a valuable hub of the above information that can be used by athletes, coaches, parents, schools, scouts, sponsors, teams, communities and anybody with a keen interest in YOUTH SPORTS. Let’s remember “not to despise the days of small beginnings”.
We are super excited to be following the progress, plans and exciting journey of the following young athletes, partners and coaches etc. Watch this space for many more athletes who will soon join this Youth Sports Community.
