Head Honcho Bruce Guettich reminisces about the holidays:
I’m feeling grateful! I guess the holidays do that to me. It’s a good feeling, I wish I could hang on to it year-round. Somehow I let this wonderful feeling slip away at times, and I have to ground myself to remind me how good life is. I’m grateful for a lot of things, my family and friends, my workmates, my health, winter (I love winters), and I’m also feeling very grateful for our customers. In the past 30 years of business, this company has worn many hats along the journey of promoting this wonderful sport, but the one constant has been our customers. I am so grateful for the support and encouragement of the players who have purchased from us over the years. I can honestly say that without your support we wouldn’t have survived.
We take pride in customer service. We live by the motto, “if you’re not happy, we’re not happy.” If you ever purchase something from us that doesn’t perform up to your expectations, please let us know about it so we can make it right for you. Anyone at World Footbag has the power to make things right, but if you want to talk with me, please know that I’m here for you too.
In doing a quick year in review, 2013 gave the sport of footbag a lot to be grateful for. Footbag had three most deserving players inducted into its sports Hall of Fame – congrats to Becca English-Ross from Eugene, OR, Jan Zimmermann from Zurich, Switzerland and Ole Schnack from Berlin, Germany. The World Footbag Championships in Montreal, Quebec, Canada crowned a new open singles footbag net champion. Karim Daouk from Lausanne, Switzerland made the leap from top level (Big Add Posse) freestyler to a rising star in footbag net. Wendy’s Old Fashion Hamburgers teamed with Guinness World Records to promote our sport through a footbag give-away campaign featuring footbag world records in thousands of stores across the United States. And finally, World Footbag (a.k.a. WFA) celebrated its thirtieth birthday this past May.
May your holiday be a kick!
Gratefully yours,
Bruce Guettich
World Footbag President
