Shuttle Time National Coordinator, Tunisian Badminton Federation
I was born in the big coastal city of Sfax in the center of Tunisia. I come from a sporting family which encouraged sport, as they believed that a healthy mind resides in a healthy body.
I played various sports, especially athletics and rugby, until 2010 when I started my sports management career.
I was born and raised in the city of Hawassa in Ethiopia. Various sports were played in my village. I used to play handball and badminton.
Early Experience of Badminton
When I was a primary school student, some coaches came to introduce badminton. That was about 25 years ago. When I saw it for the first time, it looked so different from other sports, and that made me want to learn more about it. It was an unforgettable experience.

Childhood Days
I started playing badminton when I was 15 years old.
My first coach was Barbadian and he believed in badminton basics, so we were taken through proper basic movement and then racket skills followed. My coach also motivated me by always giving me challenging tasks. The badminton team was like family to me, we were always supportive of each other.
