Rene Schillinger was interested mostly in the arts—reading, writing, singing, acting—in high school and college, but he always held an affinity for some sports, especially tennis.
Rene Schillinger “moved to NYC to pursue an advanced degree at Teachers College, Columbia University” after getting married and soon started working in education, eventually becoming an educational consultant for several schools and school districts around the United States.Rene Schillinger became involved with the Nativity Network of Schools, a group of faith-based, non-Catholic schools that worked across the country to help provide education to students living in poverty.
Rene Schillinger still dabbles in music composition and poetry, but sometimes to unwind, he loves to whack a small furry ball over a net. Schillinger sees benefits of playing sports not only to himself and his personal energy level, but also to children trying to learn. Exercise does wonders for the brain while allowing for a “break” from trying to cram as much information into one’s mind as possible.
Rene Schillinger loves playing tennis the best, because it’s something he can focus his mind on after work.
