As coaches, officials, parents, and grandparents in youth sports such as basketball, football, tennis, soccer and baseball, both Hellman and Tiritilli experienced first-hand the joy of working with their sons, grandkids, other children and parents, as well as the trials they face in social situations. Hellman also began a successful junior golf program at a local country club. Hellman used these experiences to develop the LuckySports philosophy.
