How It All Started

Hi my name is Imtiaz Jamil and I'm the Founder and CEO of Young Leaders Academy

In 2011 I was providing an after school sports club to one of our partner schools. The Deputy Head asked if I could help their SSOC’s. My first reaction was – who are they? She introduced me and I was dumbfounded. It was the first time I’d ever come across primary sports leaders and I was so impressed.

20 Keen Kids
In front of me I had 20 keen and very able children who were all about to quit being sports leaders. When I asked them why, I was barraged with so many complaints and stories that I had to calm everyone down.

It was clear to see that this amazing crop of children, who give up their playtimes to help other children play, needed a lot of help.

Some Serious Challenges
They had teamwork challenges, no planning and co-ordination; they ended up playing the same game and everyone was getting bored and a myriad of other issues that needed sorting.

I went back to the Deputy Head and told her this was a big challenge. But I was up for it. Within 2 weeks I had created what is now known as Reach for the Stars, our sports leader training program.

It’s All About Confidence
I am really proud to say it’s still helping sports leaders make an impact. This program, and every other program we have, gives them the tools, skills, belief and confidence that yes they can.
