Rakesh Kumar Yadav providing free cricket training to underprivileged students

Rakesh Kumar with Rohit Sharma

In life, you may wish to become well-known in your speciality, but this is never feasible since God has other plans for you. However, your hard effort and drive to work may prevent you from accomplishing your goals.

Hailing from Uttar Pradesh, Rakesh Kumar Yadav has always been a major admirer of many games and sports since he was a child. His main goal was to become a professional athlete, but he was unable to accomplish so due to a previous economic difficulty. He never lost up on his dream, though, and tried to establish himself in the same profession in a different method.

Rakesh journey started when he began working as an employee in Puma company, Bangalore in 2012. He had the opportunity to interact with athletes and sportsmen on a regular basis. Because of his work, he met a lot of young people who wanted to buy the greatest sports gear but couldn't because of two factors: either they didn't know what they were looking for or they didn't have enough money to obtain it. Because this was a problem he had to deal with in the past, he empathised with them and fully comprehended their current circumstances.

He couldn't allow so many young athletes' skills to go to waste, even though his own aspirations had been wrecked. His new purpose was to use his personal experiences to teach as many students as possible.

After years of working in Bangalore, he started his own sports academy named ‘Deamz sports Academy.' He soon began to support all of the underprivileged athletes by offering them an opportunity to participate in a variety of sporting events, presenting them with accurate details and information about the sport that they were interested in, and providing them with financial assistance.

He currently maintains two academies in Madhya Pradesh and Varanasi, where he charges no fees to the approximately 100 youngsters who receive free academic sports practice. His aim is to reach out to exceptional students in remote regions who want to pursue a career in cricket as part of his long-term aspirations.

In today's world, we rarely come across people like him who are eager to assist and support students in times of need.
