InPower Academy uses mixed martial arts as a vehicle for transformative personal and community improvements.
Daryl Chambers is the founder and CEO of this Wolverhampton-based social enterprise which specialises in working with young people 'regardless of circumstance, environment or current standing.'
In this episode, Daryl tells Heidi about:
- how and why martial arts can help young people realise and achieve their potential – based on both philosophy and practice,
- writing a life-plan at the age of 11 when he dreamt of running a business,
- a crossroad moment when, aged 17, he was arrested,
- InPower's specific intervention programmes, 'The Unbreakables' and 'The Warriors of Wellbeing.'
- introducing young people to the benefits of journaling,
- developing and measuring resilience.
