Milos Solc was a great example. He was not only a noble, diligent, honest, and well educated man but also an exceptional sportsman and an especially great tennis player.
He represented our country well while he played in many professional tournaments abroad. He played against the best tennis players of his time like Bill Tilden and Karel Kozeluh. His greatest years were before the 1950s when tennis was not sidelined by the communist regime.
I remember quite well when I met him in 1957, as a promising young tennis player, during the Czechoslovak Championship for players up to 14 years old. Our accommodation was in a local college in large rooms for eight players. One evening Mr. Solc came in and suddenly said,
Christianity and sports can be woven together in the lives of those who are convinced such relationship is possible. My father proved that a professional tennis player could also become a preacher of the Gospel. His worldwide achievements in tennis and Christian ministry were done by God’s grace and to the glory of his Savior Jesus Christ. As you read about his life, you will be inspired to accomplish great things for God no matter what the circumstances.
Following the example of my father, helped me become a professional tennis and ice hockey player. When my professional career ended, I served many churches and taught at seminaries. Read this book and aim high in your desire to please the Almighty God.
