Living the dream
The Italian 33-year-old says that he cannot wait to be a part of the team at Badminton Europe and referred to it being a continuation of his dream.
- Badminton is my life, my passion so I like to consider it as a job, I live it every day and that is another reason why I have come here, it allows me to continue the dream of working in the sport that I love. Luca Crippa said.
From a young age I was a player and then I became the President of one of the most important clubs in Italy, Badminton Club Milano.
I am really excited to start here because at Badminton Europe, we are at the top of European Badminton so we can do a lot in the development side of it, the 33-year-old added.
Development is looking bright
It is very important to me for the expansion of the staff in the company, Development has had a big change and it is time to start a new phase.
- A part of me has always been involved in the development area of badminton with both my club and my federation, Crippa said.
- It is a really interesting area, development and an area that I know very well from my time at the Italian Badminton Federation, stated the new Junior Manager.
A trip to the old days
Before Crippa moved into a job within the badminton world, the Italian Junior Manager was part of Kenneth Larsen’s Academy in Aalborg, also in Denmark.
- I was in Aalborg for a long period in a coach education at the Academy of Kenneth Larsen, he commented.
- This gave me a chance to see how it was to live in a different country, so in that way, I know how it is but in some ways this will be completely different, added Crippa.
