Badminton Pan America

I grew up in a neighborhood called Sapere in Neuquen, Argentina, where the social condition was challenging but filled with enterprising and hardworking families. Despite the difficulties, I found solace and joy in sports like handball and volleyball. Competing at the provincial level in these sports not only allowed me to make friends but also taught me valuable life lessons.

It was during the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona when I first saw badminton on television. However, it wasn’t until 2008, at the Atletico Neuquen club, that I had the opportunity to play this unique sport for the first time. Despite being considered a sport for “crazy people,” I fell in love with badminton and have been playing it ever since.

Badminton has become an integral part of my life. The game’s adrenaline and fatigue generate immense satisfaction with every point played. More than that, it brings me joy to introduce others to this sport. Whether it’s attracting the attention of young boys or dispelling doubts and fears in adults, badminton is an easy sport to learn and can be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of age or gender. It promotes inclusivity and a sense of belonging.

Some of my most memorable experiences include participating in tournaments and training sessions across different cities and countries. These opportunities have allowed me to meet people from diverse cultures and have broadened my horizons.

One of the most significant impacts of badminton is its positive influence on social events and schools. Whether it’s presenting Shuttle Time in schools, celebrating city anniversaries, or national days, badminton brings people together in a fun and non-violent way.

The Shuttle Time modules, particularly modules 3 and 5, are designed to inspire and motivate children to practice badminton. They provide teachers and instructors with the necessary resources to engage children and create a love for the sport.
