Until last year this was how Pakistan’s top woman badminton player Mahoor Shahzad used to balance her studies with her education. “It was a common sight to see me engrossed in my studies during tours. But I didn’t want to fall behind in either my game or my education,” she says. She adds that there were also occasions when she had an examination to appear in the day she would land in Karachi after a tournament somewhere.
