This program has added to the hope and dreams of success for our son!
“My son Joshua struggles with depression. My husband and I knew that in order to preserve a healthy mental state, we had to invest in something that would contribute to Joshua’s physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. My husband sought out “Just For Kicks.” Upon meeting the instructor (John Venson), my husband and I were blown away and elated to learn that our morals and values were aligned with the mission and vision of “Just For Kicks.” John Venson and his team teach the “whole child.” The techniques and skills that Joshua is now acquiring through this program is feeding not only his physical abilities, but his intellectual and social emotional abilities as well. Every technique that he is learning in class, gives him an immediate “return on investment” and he is able to apply it in real life situations and settings. This program has added to the hope and dreams of success for our son. Just for Kicks is providing a safe place for Joshua to identify and accept his limitations, and to seize failure as an opportunity to grow!
