I was a very physically active child. I have always enjoyed playing sports, especially football. I played daily at school and on the street in my neighbourhood.
I got to know badminton in 2010, through a teacher training course, I had just graduated in Physical Education and wanted to explore teaching possibilities at school.
Badminton struck me as a dynamic, pleasant and easy game to play, especially for beginners. Besides, I liked playing with men and women, and people with disabilities.
My professional trajectory changed after my initiation into badminton. Iโm known as Wendel Badminton, it’s almost my last name.

Certainly the Olympics in Rio 2016 was one of the biggest events that I have seen. I had the opportunity to see the world’s leading athletes and coaches up close. The highlight was seeing Lin Dan!
Badminton means a lifestyle, it is a way of seeing the world through sports. Badminton creates opportunities for people to think about a world outside the box and believing that they are able to achieve what they want.
As a sport it is special because of its inclusive nature and playfulness.

In my state, I started a badminton project in one of the most violent communities in the capital. The project started at school with children aged between 9 and 10. This project generated a change in culture and improved the perspective of these children who today receive financial resources to train at badminton and it helps them with family income and access to university education.

Shuttle Time allows more children to enjoy the possibilities that badminton offers implicitly or explicitly, whether in their motor or social development, the big difference is that it starts where every sport should arise, at school!
Weโve learnt that badminton is a tool of unremitting education and that it reaches places and minds easily, because it is attractive.
