Hello there,
My name is Jabri
My name is Jabri, and I come from a loving family with a rich athletic background. My father, a former professional race-walker, served both in the Army and on the National Team. Growing up in a sport-oriented family blessed me with numerous opportunities and experiences.
As I grew older, I discovered a deep passion for mountain climbing, cycling, and hiking. Since 2011, running has become a significant part of my life, playing a crucial role in helping me overcome depression and anxiety. I have participated in races ranging from 5km to full marathons, constantly seeking to improve myself and inspire those around me.
To further my commitment to this passion, I pursued and obtained certifications as a Performance Coach and Nuritionist from NASM, ISSA, UESCA, RUNDNA L1, TP L1.
My goal is to continue growing stronger and to support others in their journey towards better health and performance.

Behind Fennec Athletics
Jabri's journey took an inspiring turn as he established Fennec Athletics in 2020 during COVID. Back when he was just 11 years old, Jabri confronted the challenge of psychogenic stuttering, a condition that made speaking and self-expression a struggle due to the added layer of social anxiety and depression.
Driven by desire to not only overcome his own obstacles but also to extend a helping hand to those grappling with their own difficulties, Jabri channeled his aspirations into the creation of Fennec Athletics. As he embarked on a parallel journey of personal growth and development and finding inspiration in the symbolism of the fennec fox. This small desert-dwelling creature, raised in the Arabian desert known for its strength, endurance, speed, adaptation and determination, and it came to represent the qualities he wanted to include in his project.
Jabri's aim was to evolve into a better version of himself, recognizing that his own growth would enable him to better inspire and assist others. Balancing his commitments with a full-time role at Aspire Foundation, he managed to become certified as a performance coach and nutritionist. Jabri didn't want to inspire only his friends and family. Over the years, he became an adventurer and a runner. He joined various races from 5k to Ultramarathons. he has scaled the highest peaks in both Africa and Europe.
Today, Jabri pursuit revolves around cultivating Strength, Going farther, and extending hit limits daily.
Going Farther
I believe in "Going Farther," a motto that keeps me motivated to push myself, try new things, and get better at what I do. It means setting big goals and working really hard to achieve them. This mindset needs dedication, never giving up, and facing tough challenges to become a better athlete. It's a journey of growing physically and mentally, all with the goal of being the best I can be as a person and an athlete.
