“ASPIRE” was the word of the day on a chilly Sunday morning in April as youth in Houston joined the Tarik Black Foundation (TBF) for a tennis clinic presented by the U. S. Tennis Association’s NetGeneration program. Joined by Rocket teammate Luc Mbah a Moute, Tarik used the word of the day to encourage youth to work to achieve their dreams. While participating in the free clinic, youth met U. S. Men’s Clay Court tennis professionals Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe who visited with participants prior to the start of the Fayez Sarofim & Co. U. S. Men’s Clay Court Championship. “This was the first of activities we are partnering with the U. S. Tennis Association’s NetGeneration to provide,” said Judith Moore, TBF president,  “We use these types of experiences to teach life skills, instill values and build cultural bridges.” #NetGeneration  #U.
