The move provides a specialized environment for each child’s sport: Kendra is focusing on her swimming, Scarlett is honing her tennis skills, and Gavin is dedicated to basketball.

The couple set one firm condition for the trip: the children had to want the training more than the parents did.

"We'll provide the tools and the programs, but you have to provide the heart," Doug wrote, proudly adding that they have all stepped up to the challenge.

Photos from their first week show Scarlett on a clay court, Kendra training at the Melbourne Sports Centres, and Gavin practicing his jump shot on an outdoor court.

As they wrap up their first week, both Doug and Cheska are excited to see the progress their children will make over the coming months in this new, competitive environment.
