Annie Zaidi

REGIONAL DELIVERY OFFICER (EAST MIDLANDS)

Football, Sweets, Trainers & making sexy salads are main four loves of my life … what more does a girl want? 

If you haven’t figured it out yet, sarcasm, humour and being quick witted are my core strengths that I bring to Sported.

I am no stranger to Sported, having been a member since 2020, as I am the founder of Coach AnnieZ Foundation, a remarkable organisation that has made a significant impact in empowering, inspiring, and encouraging girls and young women from ethnically diverse communities.

Over the past two years, the foundation has empowered over 200 young Black and Asian girls to develop self-confidence, self-esteem, and embrace their identities, using the beautiful game of football.

When I am not working on the foundation, you will usually find me on the footy pitch delivering training sessions, watching live games to analyse players / tactics, or my head is in the books studying the love of my life.

To relax, I enjoy my early morning gym sessions and love reading before I go to bed (aiming to read a book a month).

Workdays: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
