63-0.

An impressive undefeated streak that occurred in the early 1990’s. This record is held by none other than Venus Williams in the junior tennis circuit. At what seemed to be her “peak” and set her on the trajectory to turn pro, her father, Richard Williams, pulled her and her sister (Serena Williams) from tournaments and competition. A bold, controversial move in the name of allowing Venus and Serena to be kids, focus on their education, have fun, and develop their games.

As a person who works regularly with programs and teams in underserved areas, I am often humbled by the number of volunteer coaches and parents that spend countless hours going above-and-beyond for their players.  That doesn’t include the obvious day-to-day duties like running practices or e-mailing parents. That is to be expected.
