Twitter

I have become a better twitter user, the ATA twitter account - @atabyrichie - that was linked to the Facebook updates is now more "independent" and it works as as great tool to forward or "retweet" to all of you quotes, news, and links that I find interesting.So check out the links on the right side of this blog, follow me or the tweets i follow! The Echofon app makes it even easier if you have a smart phone.

Thanks Steve!

Steve Jobs was one of the person's that inspired my life for the better. Back in 2009, when for the second time in Sundsvall I found my tennis coaching career in a dead end, I got a you tube link.. Steve Job's Stanford Commencement Speech. I had some ideas in mind until that point but Steve and a terrible accountant gave me the last push to yet another turning point in my life, on January the 19th 2009 I decided that it was time to quit my job and think outside the box. As Steve's put it best "don't get trapped by dogma, which is living with results of someone else's ideas" and ultimately that "the only way to do great work is to do what you love" The American Tennis Academy was born soon after that, and even though it is a been a very trying process with great emotional, personal and financial investments, I believe in what I do, I believe that in the future I will look back and be able to connect all the the dots, I believe that it is all worth it! Of course there are other sources of inspiration, but today I wanna just wanna say THANKS STEVE!
