Renowned tennis coach Louise Pleming's faith and commitment helped a homeless man in Australia turn his life around. A chance encounter with Brian Turton helped her to discover a shared love for tennis and banter, and regular practice at the nets forged a stronger bond. The friendship with Turton was eye-opening for the coach, who traveled the world with her protgs -- learning about his story of mental illness and abandonment, she founded RALLY4EVER, to reach out to others like him who could benefit from regular tennis coaching and companionship. And for Turton, who is now a fellow coach at the organization, the fact that Louise never gave up on him, helped him to find a new purpose in life -- a new resolve to give back.
