Join Us for the Gift of Hope Fundraising Lunch at DeBusk Family Club!
February 24, 2025
At Boys & Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Valley, we know that staying active is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. At our Western Heights Club, members are not only getting exercise but also developing their athletic skills through an exciting soccer clinic led by Mr. Gus, a University of Tennessee graduate.
Mr. Gus brings a unique approach to coaching by integrating technology into training sessions. Using a camera and GPS trackers, he provides real-time feedback to help our members improve their game. The camera footage allows players to analyze their movements, sharpen their passing accuracy, and enhance their game strategy. Meanwhile, the GPS trackers monitor heart rates, speed, and overall activity levels, giving valuable insight into each member’s fitness and endurance.
Beyond the data-driven coaching, Mr. Gus takes a hands-on approach—literally! Instead of just directing from the sidelines, he actively participates in drills and demonstrations, showing members firsthand how to refine their techniques. This interactive coaching style keeps members engaged, motivated, and eager to improve.
The impact is already clear—our members are growing more confident in their skills, learning teamwork, and building lifelong healthy habits through soccer. The Western Heights staff couldn’t be prouder of their hard work and dedication!
Healthy lifestyles start with movement, mentorship, and fun. We’re excited to continue providing programs like this to inspire our youth to stay active and reach their full potential.
