I had the pleasure to meet Dr. Tarek Charaf Some years ago, and have noticed through the years, that he is one of the top leaders in his field.
His expertise in coaching, mentoring and managing athletes and coaches alike, is tremendous.

I had the pleasure of working with Tarek Charaf for two years 2004-2005, as Secretary General of the Lebanese Olympic Committee.
Tarek was a revelation and he far exceeded our hopes during his too short stay at the Lebanese Olympic Committee.

Tarek's sports knowledge is phenomenal and his ability to connect with his peers a big asset.

 He was very well liked and respected both, locally and with the International Olympic Committee, as well as National Olympic Committees we had dealings with. 

He left a gaping hole which has never been filled. I know he has done sterling work with other organizations he moved to.
Tarek is highly valued wherever he goes.

His knowledge, expertise, approach and easy manner, will stand him in good stead in whatever he chooses to do.

Dr. Charaf is one of the best and most efficient professionals i have worked with.

His coaching and management skills are exceptional.

He has proven time and time again, that the impossible can be reached.

It's a joy and pleasure to work with him.


I have had the opportunity to work with Dr. Tarek Charaf, quite a few times since 2006. What i can say, is that he has a proven track record of excellence, and is more than professional in his work, while using some unconventional yet very successful methodologies.
He is a professional of choice to work with, when offered the opportunity, and it is a pleasure for the both of us, when cooperating together.
