Folks -This week we had Angie and the amazing folks from Try Sports come down to our Fit Club in Charleston on Thursday from 4-6 to fit each individual kid with athletic shoes that they’ll custom fit to each kids feet. The kids will have to leave the shoes at the school each week in custom bags donated by East Shore Athletic Club’s Kent Jordan. The kids will have to earn the shoes through the gold star standard system Louie’s Kids has in place. –Gold stars (attendance, wearing a pedometer, bringing their journal for the group session, etc. etc.) is the way the kids will earn any fitness equipment or outside activity within the program.
We all understand and are in agreement at Fit Club (created by Louie’s Kids and longtime partner Wellspringcommunityprograms.com) that this is about changing long-term patterns of behavior, it’s the only way they’ll be successful. Kids will have to earn these things and they’ll do so by changing their behavior. It won’t be easy –no one expects that it will, there’s a lot going against these kids, but we’ll be there with them –every step of the way and long after the program ends.
So I just wanted to give you the heads up on what’s happening. ”Keep those donation’s coming!”
Louis
