HELPING KIDS COPE
Thomas d'Aquin, one-time coach to Chris Evert Lloyd, reaches out to economically disadvantaged youths
in Biloxi and Baton Rouge through the Aces Tennis Foundation. In response to damage caused by
Hurricane Katrina, he recently teamed up with various associations along the coastal areas of Mississippi
and Louisiana to find sponsorships to repair public tennis facilities.
"We're currently trying to figure out how we're going to do it. I'm having a dialogue with the Beau Rivage
Resort and Casino, the Imperial Palace Hotel and Casino, and the Isle of Capri Resort Casino on the Gulf
Coast. We are trying to work out the logistics of getting this initiated," says d'Aquin.
He is also working with KettleBell Concepts of New York, to integrate the Russian weights into a training
program for kids in the region. "I hope that all the kids will become tennis pros and use kettlebells to
improve their game and their bodies," says d'Aquin.
