TO ALL SCHOOLS WHO HAVE A BASKERBALL COURT BUT DONOT HAVE A COACH


Subject : APPOINTMENT AS BASKETBALL COACH FOR YOUR INSTITUTIONS
IN ORDER TO PROMOTE EXCELLENCE IN SPORTS.

Respected

At the very outset I thank you for providing me an opportunity to work with the staff and children of your educational institutions who have always given me their whole hearted support and love. We have succeeded in only a limited way. The reasons are multi-dimensional and well understood by me.

In order to create a CENTRE FOR EXCELLENCE in sports [specially basketball], I request you to kindly appoint me as a Basketball coach cum sports adviser. This will help me in interacting with students and their parents on a regular basis – and plan their training schedules [in campus or outside campus]. The objective is to provide opportunity for learning and exercising their talents at the highest level so that these children can become role models. This will generate enthusiasm and willingness to play in the entire school as also help parents understand the role of `play’ in education.

The UN CHARTER for fundamental rights of the children states
The child shall have full opportunity for play and recreation, which should be directed to the same purposes as education; society and the public authorities shall endeavour to promote the enjoyment of this right.

It is unfortunate that school managements under pressure from parents, educational authorities and `academic minded’ teachers is unable to protect this fundamental right. A strong and healthy child is an asset for all of us and the ENDURANCE – DISCIPLINE – JOY that sports can give must not be denied to them.

I have found all my answers to my life from `playing basketball’ – I hope to transfer this same zeal to all my students – given the opportunity.

Yours truly,
