Passionate SportStars Scoop Star-Ups Awards

02/11/07

I had the great pleasure of attending the Startups Awards yesterday afternoon to mix with some inspiring new businesses at an event that had a real buzz to it.

The startup to walk away with the overall winner prize was SportStars which provides organised sport coaching sessions for 4-12 year olds through schools and the local community. Not only does this business make money, but it really does help build children's confidence, get them exercising and create a sense of self-worth and team spirit. All in all a good thing at a time when obesity is a growing (excuse the pun) problem, particularly for children.

It was also good to see stereotypical British reserve dispensed with as James Taylor, managing director of SportStars, and his team punched the air, whooped and generally celebrated in style on hearing they'd won. All looked on approvingly by Levi Roots who was sitting at their table.
