Andrew Grosvenor is the visionary and Founder of P.L.A.Y.S. Positive Leadership Advances Youth Self-Development. P.L.A.Y.S. mission is to build self-confidence and self-esteem, to develop high achievers, and to enrich the lives of youth in ways of academic achievement, physical fitness, proper nutrition and community service. Growing up in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Andrew was always a stellar athlete. He understood at an early age that physical athleticism and talent, coupled with academic excellence, was the winning combination that could take him a long way. Andrew is an accomplished athlete with basketball as his specialty. He has played for two CBA teams in Tulsa, Oklahoma and Fargo, North Dakota. He has also played for three overseas teams in England, Scotland and the Philippines. Often, in today's society, there is too much emphasis placed on the physical athleticism aspect and not enough emphasis placed on the academic excellence aspect of this winning combination. Andrew embodied this healthy balance between physical athleticism and academic excellence and through P.L.A.Y.S. he has helped many children achieve that same balance. Using the knowledge he has gained from being a long time athlete, a student of North Eastern State University majoring in Journalism and Kinesiology and currently a Cooper Aerobics Center Certified Personal Trainer for Bally Total Fitness, Andrew has developed a positive youth training program. A specialist in Post-Rehabilitation certified through Idea. Through his work with the Boys and Girls Club of West Dallas and as a Recreational Specialist for the City of Irving, Andrew realizes that there is a need for positive influence in the lives of Dallas' youth. He wants to make sure that every child feels as if he or she matters and is cared about. When a child knows this, they are better able to develop intellectually, physically, emotionally, socially, and morally. Of course, behind every strong man there is a strong woman. That woman is Bridgette Grosvenor. She is the co-founder of P.L.A.Y.S. and has always been a firm believer in community involvement. Andrew and Bridgette are highly motivated people and parents of two lovely and active daughters. Through the leadership of Andrew and Bridgette, P.L.A.Y.S., together with other community groups, youth agencies, national institutions and schools, continues a great American tradition that complements government efforts to focus on the needs of children.
