Andrew D\u2019Souza est au sommet du classement canadien masculin en simple et champion canadien de 2015. En 2011, il a eu la chance de s\u2019entra\u00eener en Inde pendant deux mois \u00e0 la prestigieuse Acad\u00e9mie de badminton de Gopichand en compagnie de membres de l\u2019\u00e9quipe nationale indienne. Il a ensuite particip\u00e9 aux Championnats du monde juniors de 2011 et 2012. Lors de sa premi\u00e8re ann\u00e9e chez les s\u00e9niors, Andrew a \u00e9t\u00e9 choisi pour repr\u00e9senter le Canada aux Jeux du Commonwealth de 2014, sa premi\u00e8re comp\u00e9tition multisport internationale. Mais comme il \u00e9tait un athl\u00e8te autofinanc\u00e9, il a d\u00fb amasser la somme n\u00e9cessaire pour couvrir les frais de son voyage \u00e0 Glasgow en organisant un tournoi de d\u00e9monstration. Pratiquement inconnu sur la sc\u00e8ne internationale, Andrew s\u2019est rendu en huiti\u00e8me de finale o\u00f9 il s\u2019est inclin\u00e9 devant le m\u00e9daill\u00e9 de bronze du tournoi, l\u2019Indien R V Gurusaidutt. Il a acquis davantage d\u2019exp\u00e9rience en comp\u00e9tition multisport aux Jeux du Canada de 2015 o\u00f9 il a remport\u00e9 la m\u00e9daille d\u2019argent de l\u2019\u00e9preuve masculine en simple et aid\u00e9 l\u2019\u00e9quipe de l\u2019Ontario \u00e0 d\u00e9crocher la m\u00e9daille d\u2019or.<\/p>\n

\u00c0 PROPOS DE L\u2019ATHL\u00c8TE<\/h2>\n

Famille\u00a0: <\/strong>Il est le fils d\u2019Anil et Brenda D\u2019Souza. Sa s\u0153ur a\u00een\u00e9e s\u2019appelle Natasha. D\u00e9buts\u00a0: <\/strong>Il a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 jouer au badminton \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 12 ans, mais les premiers temps, il n\u2019en \u00e9tait pas vraiment passionn\u00e9. Il s\u2019y est mis s\u00e9rieusement apr\u00e8s une d\u00e9faite en premi\u00e8re ronde d\u2019un tournoi provincial. Pour lui, c\u2019\u00e9tait inacceptable de jouer aussi mal et cela l\u2019a motiv\u00e9 \u00e0 s\u2019entra\u00eener davantage. Autres int\u00e9r\u00eats\u00a0:<\/strong> Il a termin\u00e9 la troisi\u00e8me ann\u00e9e de son baccalaur\u00e9at \u00e8s science (sciences de l\u2019activit\u00e9 physique) \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 d\u2019Ottawa. Il soutient l\u2019Association canadienne du diab\u00e8te en faisant des dons. Il aime pratiquer diff\u00e9rents sports. Il est entra\u00eeneur de badminton \u00e0 temps partiel. De tout et de rien\u00a0: <\/strong>Sa devise\u00a0: \u00ab\u00a0Je suis le plus grand. Je l\u2019ai dit avant m\u00eame de savoir que je l\u2019\u00e9tais.\u00a0\u00bb Pendant le r\u00e9chauffement, il \u00e9coute de la musique pour que les autres ne lui parlent pas. Ses parents et sa grand-m\u00e8re sont les personnes qui ont eu le plus d\u2019influence sur lui en lui enseignant \u00e0 rester positif en toute circonstance. On le surnomme\u00a0: Dsouz. En voyage, il apporte toujours des notes qu\u2019une personne tr\u00e8s proche lui a donn\u00e9es.<\/p>\n
