About us
Zimizam’s founder Matthew Trytell has been a tennis professional for over 10 years, having coached children with special needs in London, and he currently works with disadvantaged children across Bordeaux, France.
Zimizam emerged from Matthew’s own experience working directly with children with complex needs and seeing the benefits of both physical activity and mindfulness which he incorporated into his lessons. Parents reported that their children slept more soundly and focussed better in school.
While amazing work is being done on an individual level, Matthew believes that more sustainable programmes globally are needed to tackle inactivity, and there's more room to upskill teachers and coaches.
