About Us
The person behind IsportU's creation.
Anna Koh Founder
Anna started tennis at the age of 10, and ever since then the sport has become a huge part of her life. She grew to become passionate about tennis as it appealed to her more than any other sport. For someone like her who had never been particularly active, it was an opening into a whole different world. Her love for the game developed as she started playing tournaments in Singapore. In 2020, Anna joined the Mouratoglou Tennis Academy in France in hopes of further developing her love for both tennis and school.
Anna is passionate about expanding the sports community, and allowing aspiring athletes to follow their dreams. Her journey started in 2019, on a trip to Yangon, Myanmar. When sparring with the local tennis players, Anna noticed the lack of support and facilities for these youths. She believes that sports should not be limited by the lack of resources and would love to share her experiences as a student-athlete with everyone–which is why she created IsportU: a platform where we can help underprivileged youths around the world discover their sport.
​
In addition to all the training and competing that she does, she also loves learning, her favourite subjects both in Sciences and Humanities. As Anna furthers her studies at MTA, she has shown great interest policymaking in the healthcare sector, with hopes that she can implement it into her future projects. Outside of school and training, her hobbies include drawing and photography.
​
Through Global Goals, Anna hopes to spread the three core objectives of IsportU: spreading awareness, advocating equity, and building communities. She hopes to amplify the voices of underprivileged or low-income individuals who are passionate about sports, a cause she believes is not emphasised enough today. As an athlete herself, Anna hopes to bring out a generation of advocates for this initiative.
