As a dedicated racquet sports and recreation manager currently based in Neom, Saudi Arabia, my career spans over 15 years and includes a diverse array of leadership and coaching roles in tennis, both domestically and internationally. My journey in the sports industry began in Lebanon, where I played a key role in promoting tennis through the Junior Tennis Initiative (JTI) program, bringing the sport to schools nationwide. I have also coached and supervised junior national team players, nurturing young talent and enhancing their competitive skills. Additionally, my experience includes organizing and leading tennis camps across the globe, ensuring that players of all levels receive an exceptional and tailored tennis experience. My commitment to providing top-tier service and fostering growth within the sport has been a central focus throughout my career.

In my next career step, I am looking for a role that allows me to build on my extensive experience in sports, from professional coaching and sports management to organizing large-scale sports events. I aim to contribute to a forward-thinking organization where I can apply my strategic planning skills and passion for sports development, while driving impactful programs and fostering talent at all levels. My goal is to create a lasting impact, leading projects that enhance both community engagement and the competitive edge of the athletes and organizations I work with.

Testimonial

It is a pleasure to provide a reference for Charbel Richa. I first met Charbel at the International Tennis Federation (ITF) coaches conference around five years ago. We instantly connected because of our common interest for personal and professional growth as well as a genuine passion for coaching. He frequently approached me to go beyond the scope of the conference content and was extremely self-motivated to be the best version of himself possible. These qualities and many more were the main reasons that I decided to continue to mentor Charbel along his coaching journey. As a result of his focused energy and dedication to become the best coach that he can possibly be, I have seen Charbel grow into a fine young coach who is self-motivated, career orientated, and he has a genuine care for his athletes to develop as both people and players. This is also evidenced by his success to continually develop top ranked junior players in Lebanon. Charbel understands what it takes to run your own business because he has proven that he can grow a junior program exponentially. He has skills in developing young children in skill acquisition as well as high performance players. He leads by example and is prepared to go above and beyond to be successful. He has strong foundational values and a coaching philosophy that sets him apart from many other tennis coaches. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Charbel because I am 100% confident that he will exceed your expectations and add value to your program. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require more information and I look forward to following Charbel’s journey with interest.

This is to certify that I have known Charbel Richa since my appointment as President of the Lebanese Tennis Federation in November 2016. Since then Mr Richa has helped a lot in the development of tennis among young players, technically for existing players and has done a great job introducing the game to beginners through school outreach programs or self personal efforts. He is a great coach, very well disciplined , very active and always ready to give against no return. He is always eager to learn more and is always ready to participate in all kinds of tennis conference. I would highly recommend Mr Richa for any position he may be applying for.
