THE CHILDREN’S MANAGER, MEMBER, MENTOR, MINISTER & MODEL:

Diego  Armando Franco Maradona  campaigned against drugs and substances abuse and addiction. Edson Arantes Do Nascimento Pele stood for the children’s rights. Michel Francois Platini fought against bribery and corruption.

Regrettably: drugs and substances’ abuse and addiction did blind, bind and grind to powder Diego Armando Franco Maradona.  Edson Arantes Do Nascimento Pele dogmatically refused to accept his biological daughter Sandra Regina Arantes birthed in 1964 upon his coitus with a housemaid. Sandra Regina Arantes sought refuge and legal redress in the corridors of justice and saw the light of the day when the DNA tests’ results proved positive. Later on describing her mother’s relationship with Edson Arantes Do Nascimento Pele she authored the book titled,”The Daughter The King Did Not Want.” The French Soccer’s Administration Sir Michel Francois Platini was banned from football administration on corruption allegations.

In 1980, after watching a female tennis player from Romania receiving 40,000 Dollars only upon winning a tennis tournament; it dawned on him that his annual salary is much less than that lady’s monthly salary. After turning off the television, he took a blue Bic writing pen and penned a 78 paged blow-by-blow; brick-by-brick and hand-by-hand conscientious,  artistic impression on how he shall gingerly scrape through the tennis expertise in his yet to be birthed two daughters. He had to flee the gangsters’ violence riddled Compton in California.

He never had a foggiest idea on tennis playing. He was jangled, mangle wrecked and wallowed in abject pins and needles. The two daughters were unbirthed. His better half had not even conceived. Training them would cost him an arm and a leg. In five years time, he had perfected the art of the tennis game. He passed down the expertise to his two daughters. He effectively double played coach and father’s roles.

When financially crippled, he would go out of his way; make an inroad into the cheek-by-jowl domiciled local country clubs; gather from the bins used tennis balls; load them into a shopping cart and give them to his two daughters who practised with them in the public tennis courts.

Overprotective and physically aggressive to external forces against his two daughters was he. On one recorded incident upon adamantly refusing to exit; regrettably the local gang bullies broke his fingers, jaw, nose and knocked out several teeth. He recorded in his diary,”After today, history shall remember the “toothless man” being the epitome of intrepidity.”

Tennis was predominantly a White affair earmarked by racial discrimination. In their junior tournaments, whenever they were looked at and enquired from their coach and dad why the spectators looked at them with a mistress-to-a-servant-attitude; at the dropping of a hat manner, he straight as a ramrod in an eyeball to an eyeball contact laid the optimistic riposte,”Never in their lives have they ever seen such beautiful people!”

In 2000: the skysnogging in height, black beauty Blue Stocking, tennis ace featured in the final at Wimbledon tournament. This time round, the cream of creation watching her. At the nick of time, before outwitting her opponent; her eyes set on her coach and father standing in ovation, in bated breath waiting for her triumph impatiently more than a philanderer bestowing upon her auditory nerves bursting, earth wrecking, thunderous and torrent rounds of applause teaming up with the packed to the rails spectators. Incessantly he encouraged them,”GOD willing, one red letter day, we shall win the Wimbledon. It shall not be for us; the finances shall be tailored to the pins and needles crippled individuals on the American soil.”

His 20-year-long struggle blueprint bore fruits openly as the pique. The opponent’s ball hit the net. Cameras captured the joyous teary-eyed coach and father dancing ecstatically, exuberantly and wildly as he beheld his daughter’s first win in the Grand Slam Titles. Over the next years, his second and last born daughter won 23 major tournaments and became the creme dela creme tennis player globally.

Due to their steamroller physique, spectators had nicknamed them “The Williams’ Brothers.” The media had branded her mixed-race daughter “The Chocolate Milk.” Their father’s resilience catapulted their win over racism and bigotry. The most exquisite to revenge and answer your foes and racists is at the tennis courts. Cross pollinated minds plus cross fertilized ideas equals masterpieces and successes mentally, physically, socially and spiritually. 

A lonely person who has absolutely no one in the whole world save the ALMIGHTY LORD GOD only; when he alone has a firm intention to achieve a goal; then the will of the ALMIGHTY LORD GOD is added to that alone; it maketh the impossible possible.

Nothing in the whole world is impossible; factually speaking: the word itself says,”I am possible!” Whether you think you can or you cannot, undeniably you are as right as rain. I cannot is the brother to I won’t. The nearer the goal/ home, the more harder the battle; the more harder the battle; the more sweeter the victory.

1. You have to choose your goal.
2. You have to strengthen your resolve.
3. You have to believe in, trust in and obey the ALMIGHTY LORD GOD.
4. Spare no pains to attain the most zenith pedestal.
5. Make every effort to achieve it.
6. Thou shalt reach thy destination.

The rad coach and the accountable, inspirational, relational, resourceful, respectful and rewarding father is Mr. Richard Dove Williams Junior  and the two infungible tennis stalwarts are Serena Jameka Williams and Venus Ebony Starr Williams. Serena  Jameka Williams’ mixed-race daughter was nicknamed,”Chocolate milk.”

The tennis ace, the  lastborn  Venus Ebony Starr Williams has by the ALMIGHTY LORD GOD’S transcendent grace garnered under her belt:

• 49 WTA Singles,
• 22 WTA Doubles,
• Fourteen Grand Slam Double Titles,
• Seven Slam Singles Titles
• Four Gold Medals across the 2000, 2008 and 2012 Summer Olympics and
• Silver Medal in the Rio De Janeiro’s Olympics.
• May the ALMIGHTY LORD GOD in HIS infinite and transcendent grace capered with Divine wisdom turn in your mental, physical, social and spiritual endeavours every:
• Pain into the gain; Worm into the wisdom; Burn into the barn; No into on; Pity into the opportunity; Tar into the star; Scar into the star; Coastal ephemeral, fickle, finite and rickety sinking sands into the kings and queens’ steamroller castles, fanfares, palaces, towers and watchtowers; Setback into the successes’ stepping stones comebacks; Lemon into the lemonades; Soot into the suit; Crass into the glass in the class; Test into the testimony; Misery into the ministry and Mess into the message. I believe in, I trust in, I obey and pray through Jesus Christ.  Amen.

If you cannot soar, then just fly. If you cannot fly, then just run. If you cannot run, then just walk. If you cannot walk, then just shuffle. If you cannot shuffle, then just çrawl. If you cannot crawl, then just wriggle. If size really counted and mattered in life; undeniably the elephant and not the lion would be the Triton among the minnows in the jungle. If you cannot be the star, just be the sun. If you cannot be the sun, just be the moon. If you cannot be the skyrocketing mountain, then just be the low-lying molehill. If you cannot be the skysnogging tree, then just be the low-lying shrub. Whatever thou doest, keep moving in the most biggest, the most best and the most boldest manner and cadre.

Dear parents, be the: Manager, Member, Mentor, Minister and Model to your children’s mental, physical, social and spiritual affairs.
