I was the second of three children. I grew up with my mother and my brothers in a rural area 75km from the capital and I studied there until my high school.

First Experience of Badminton
I came to work as a janitor at the Federación Salvadoreña de Bádminton in February 2006. It struck me as an interesting sport because it was played with a racket and shuttlecock, something unusual in the environment I grew up in.
I continued working for the federation. I was certified as a national coach, and a BWF level 1 coach (2019). From 2013 onwards I’ve held an administrative position.
I had the joy of discovering and helping develop our best player, Uriel Canjura.

What Badminton Means
Badminton is an opportunity for low income children to change their lifestyle and improve their opportunities. It is a noble and attractive sport for children, as it does not involve situations of contact and violence.
I’ve had the satisfaction of helping train athletes who today have other life opportunities.

How Shuttle Time Helps
Shuttle Time has ensured ease of implementation, thanks to the material provided and the certification of teachers.
The most important lesson I’ve learned from Shuttle Time is teamwork and coordinating with institutions to open the opportunity for more children to learn about badminton.
