Carla Rosenberg, a former student of ATA CEO Jack Newman and active member of the ATA community, recently spoke to a group at the North Texas Food Bank. Her talk so moved Rush Olsen, a writer for the Fort Worth Weekly, that he featured her in his column, Sports Rush.
Here is an excerpt:

Something got Rosenberg to the point where she is this successful, and it was clearly either in spite of sports or because of them. In a recent talk she gave to employees at the North Texas Food Bank, she explained the role sports, and especially tennis, played in her development as an executive.

“The tangibles that come through playing athletics stay with you,” she said. She turned those tangibles into a series of philosophies she finds crucial to success.

Coach Newman, who has impacted many generations of students over the past 3+ decades, expressed his pride in seeing his former students succeed in life.

“As coaches, we often don’t get to see the real fruits of our labor until long after our students graduate from ATA.  The lessons we impart can often times be long term life time skills that don’t reveal themselves until our students are well into their careers.

It’s incredibly rewarding and fun when you get to see something you taught, actually stuck to your student and that they use it in their everyday life.”
