He started playing badminton in school. But when he started playing with friends at university, he found that they were all much better than him. He decided to take some lessons, learned the basics and it improved his games dramatically. He enjoyed the improvement so much that he decided he wanted to help others do the same, and took Level 1 and Level 2 coaching courses. Islam has been coaching for over 14 years, specialising in coaching beginners in doubles/mixed doubles.
