Indore, Madhya Pradesh – True strength is not measured by victories alone but by the courage to rise after every fall. Coach Amay Lashkari, founder of ALET Sports Academy, embodies this spirit, turning personal challenges into a mission to empower India’s youth through sports.
A Vision Born in Dwarkapuri
From Dwarkapuri, Indore, Amay dreamt of a sports academy that would produce champions both on and off the field. His dedication went beyond limits — he sold his own car to fund his training in Fencing, one of the world’s most expensive martial arts disciplines, demonstrating his commitment to nurturing talent despite financial hurdles.
Rising Above Challenges
Even while battling sciatica paralysis, Amay continued mentoring students and shaping them into skilled coaches, ensuring his knowledge and vision endured.
Yet betrayal struck when some of his students claimed credit for his work, saying:
“We ran your classes while you only watched.”
Choosing dignity over confrontation, Amay walked away from his own creation, exemplifying integrity and strength of character.
Principles Over Convenience
When asked to abandon a young girl from the Valmiki community, Amay refused:
“No one ever gains by abandoning their mother. I will never leave what I built.”
Though former students became competitors, Amay’s principles never wavered.
A Mentor’s Guidance and a Second Chance
Inspired by Master Saeed Alam’s words:
“Even when the sun hides behind clouds, its light never fades. Your time will come,”
Amay began coaching a new team in Mhow, including Devaraj Khode, the team captain, who believed only Amay could guide them to success. Amay welcomed the team, saying:
“You played even when defeat was certain — just to be part of my team. For that, I accept you as my disciple.”
The Rebirth of ALET Sports Academy
From that moment, ALET Sports Academy was reborn — stronger, united, and committed to instilling discipline, dedication, and national pride.
Today, the academy celebrates a historic achievement: 20 players have been selected to represent Madhya Pradesh at the 21st National SBI Karate Championship 2025 in Kanyakumari.
A Legacy of Courage and Inspiration
From personal sacrifice to rebuilding his academy after betrayal, Coach Amay Lashkari has shown that true champions are defined by resilience, integrity, and the drive to uplift others.
ALET Sports Academy is more than a sports institution — it is a movement empowering India’s youth to dream big, work hard, and achieve excellence through sports.
