LPGA golf instructor, YouTuber, businesswoman, entrepreneur - Coach Shayain is a young woman making a big mark in golf. As a minority golfer, born in Pakistan into a family who immigrated to Canada when she was a child, she experienced, first-hand, the barriers that were in place as a young female player with a different skin colour, trying to learn the game in her teens.
Family financial constraints meant that the only sports she was exposed to were the free ones played at school. With good sporting genes (her grandfather was the wicket keeper for the Pakistan cricket team) and amazing hand-eye-ball coordination skills, she flourished in several, including volleyball, but an injury forced her to step back from the sport and led her to golf.
