Adele Martin, Leap Frogs Action Sports and Games

How did you get started in your business?
I started this business as I have a passion for sport and physical activity and believe that children in particular should have the opportunity to be active from a young age and be given the opportunity to develop their gross motor skills in a fun and friendly environment.
What is the best thing about running your own business? And what is the worst thing?
The best thing about running my own business is the satisfaction I get knowing that I have achieved what I set out to achieve. I also love being able to work with so many children in a range of settings from pre-schools to primary schools and high schools, to private Christmas parties and birthday parties, to community and corporate settings. It mixes it up and makes each day quite different.
The worst thing about running my own business is balancing time spent on the business with time spent elsewhere in life. A lot of love and hard work goes into small business which means many hours making sure it all runs smoothly.
What’s the most valuable piece of business advice you’ve ever received?
The most valuable piece of business advice I have received is to set goals daily, weekly and monthly to work towards. This way you don’t feel overwhelmed with tasks ahead and are more likely to achieve what you set out to achieve.
What do your customers value most?
Our customers value our professionalism, quality and unique programs that entertain from start to finish, and the fact that they can relax and enjoy the event whilst guests are entertained inactive and innovative way.
What business awards have you won or accolades have you received?
We have been a finalist in the Waverley Councils Brightest and Best Business Awards for the past 3 years. Making it to top 4 in our category – Health and Fitness each year.
Which community events have you recently been involved in?
We have recently run our programs for BMD Constructions, Bird & Bird Lawyers, Wentworthville Leagues Club, Eastwood St Andrews Football Club, Legacy Property, Rose Bay OOSH, Priority Tree Services, The Board of Jewish Education, Sutherland Shire Council, and International All Star Events in conjunction with Parramatta Council.
What did you do before you started Leap Frogs Action Sports and Games?
Before starting my own business I worked in many different sport, educational and recreational settings including pre-school teaching, High school PDHPE teaching, Sports coaching and Holiday camps.
What motivates you?
I am motivated to work in this field as I believe it is extremely important to be active from a young age and I wanted to make physical activity fun and enjoyable and help children in particular to find a love of sport and physical activity that hopefully follows them into adulthood.
What do you do to wind down?
In my spare time I like to wind down by being active or by simply enjoying nature. I love Yoga, Pilates, team sports and the beach.
What three words accurately describe you?
Three words to accurately describe me would be energetic, friendly and caring.
What would you attempt to do if you knew you couldn't fail?
If I knew I couldn’t fail, my ultimate goal would be to obtain funding to have all pre-schools in Australia providing free gross motor classes to all kids.
What do kids enjoy most about your programs?
Kids love our programs because they are adaptable to all ages, genders and abilities. You don’t have to be amazing at sport to get involved and play our games. They particularly love our 1.8m Earth Ball and its novelty factor.
