At 17 he has emerged as a gifted game
player and he recently contributed to the Orthodox Club’s crowning of the U-18
Junior League title, led by Coach Samer Nino. Baqour started his sporting
career playing Taekwondo, in which he holds the "Two Dan" belt.
“I started playing basketball at a late age, about
three years ago, when Coach Ibrahim Jarrar discovered my talent in school and recruited
me to the Amman Federation Club to train under his supervision and Coach Zaid
Sahouri, where I was runner up in the U-14 and U-16 Championships,” Baqour told
Al-Ghad News.
"The decision to leave the Amman
Federation Club was very difficult, but chasing my passion and dream of playing
with the Orthodox club prompted me to make this decision, and I quickly adapted
to the atmosphere here, especially since coach Samer Nino succeeded in
employing my abilities in an ideal way,” Baqour said.
He said he wants to continue playing
basketball, develop his skills and refine his talent further, to reach the
highest levels and to achieve his dream of winning more titles and
championships.
"I am seeking a scholarship
abroad and to play in the university league," he said. He added that he
faces certain challenges related to physical fatigue and the difficulty of
organizing time between studies, training and playing matches.
Baqour thanked his family for their
continuous support saying that without them “I would not have been able to
continue playing and studying at the same time.”
