2016 was a pivotal year for the Reichle family when they were hit “head-on” at 70mph by a young driver who crossed the line on a 2-lane highway in Texas. God has done miracles in their lives, healing them and helping each of them to overcome their critical injuries. Jennifer and their sons each had life-threatening injuries, but God sustained them through many surgeries and several years of physical, occupational, and speech therapy.
One of their son’s doctors recommended tennis as rehabilitation to restore eye-hand coordination, memory (through keeping score), and balance or vestibular system. Tennis was instrumental in the rehabilitation for all of them.
Coach Reichle earned his Master of Divinity with a concentration in Cross-Cultural studies from Alliance Theological Seminary in New York in 2004. He earned his B.A. in Astronomy and Physics with Minors in Math, Statistics, and Religious Studies from the University of Tennessee in 1997. Go Vols!
Our CCS Tennis Team verse this year is: 1 John 4:19: “We love because He first loved.” It all starts with love in Tennis and in life.
