I am Leanne Bates, Sports Coordinator at Street League London and an adidas Breaking Barriers Champion. The adidas Breaking Barriers Project is a 5-year commitment to breaking down barriers for women and girls across Europe by working directly with non-profit sports organizations (like Street League), empowering local leaders, and coaches, and by providing the sports industry with the necessary tools to lead change. My role as a Champion is to recruit more girls in our community to take part in sports and to focus on building my coaching techniques to become more inclusive.

Street League has one mission, to use the power of sport and education to help support young people into work. Sport is at the heart of what we do and what makes us successful. We support young people holistically, recognising the inextricable links between wellbeing, health, and employment. We use the power of sport to help young people, aged 14 to 30, who face personal barriers to employment to improve their wellbeing, secure employment and have a brighter future. We work in schools, communities, and with employers to equip young people with the confidence, motivation, essential skills, and qualifications needed to succeed in the world of work.
