Meet the coach - Tim Abeyie
As a native of south London, raised on a council estate, my aspiration was always to pursue a career in professional sports, particularly football or athletics. Fortunately, I was able to realize this ambition and compete at the highest levels.
During my upbringing, I recognized a significant dearth of opportunities for sports enthusiasts, particularly in underserved communities like the one I grew up in. Having relocated to Leeds, I’ve observed this gap widening for talented youth in deprived areas. Motivated by this observation, I established Speed for Sport, aiming to provide an avenue for children eager to enhance their athletic abilities through tailored coaching and specialized expertise.
I am proud to report that within the short duration since its inception, Speed for Sport has garnered notable success across multiple disciplines, including football, rugby, netball, and athletics. As we continue to expand and refine our programs, I am confident that our impact will only amplify, nurturing the talents of aspiring athletes and empowering them to reach their full potential.
