[lynx101]

Well that is a motto I suppose, but they are usually shorter, and easier to remember. I like yours none the less :) I haven't got one at the moment. Maybe I should make one...

[what07]

"When in doubt Smash and Smash agian" :)

[Amin Khalili]

Ouh nice


"When in doubt Smash and Smash agian" :)

Wow you really want to be a smasher

[0ozafo0]

"When in doubt Smash and Smash agian" :)

i have a similar one
"when in doubt, push to backhand."

[dunker]

My motto...."Got to win THIS point". It helps me focus.

[lynx101]

How about the typical, "You can do it if you put your back into it"?

*WARNING* motto does not apply to over 50s as a serious injury could be sustained :p

[Marquee1975]

:o

It's not the will to win, but the will to prepare to win that makes the difference.

;)

[krisss]

Lol!


I might choose this option :D

[K4mu1]

BURRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!

xD... I don't give my opponent chance, ask them to do a terrifying rally. The bad point is :( I often running out of fuel myself lol >.<

[blessing]

KILL YOUR OPPONENTSSS! muahaah. XD

[limsy]

mine:
get better and better every rally...

sigh...but i cant do it...

[Kinderbijbel]

all your base are belong to us. :P

[skunklover]

LOL
these are funny

well...
i like "drop."
xD
but
"in omnia paratus"
in all things prepared...if i had to pick a really good sounding one

[Oldhand]

all your base are belong to us. :P

Since the advent of the 21-point system, it is:
"All your error are belong to us" :o

[bradmyster]

i have a couple of different ones.
" if you think negatively you will never progress forward."

"you can achieve any goal if you "truly" dedicate your heart mind and soul in a positive state."

"The game isnt over until the last possible point has been played."

"never give up, never back down and never be disapointed with any result so long as you have given it your best shot."

[Kinderbijbel]

ain't that a peach:P

[krisss]

Fall down seven times , stand up eight :D

[rwg05]

"Return Everything"

[Smash _Drop]

When the going gets tough...call every shot OUT!

[krisss]

When the going gets tough...call every shot OUT!

Lol :D

I've seen a lot of people with this motto ^^ ^^

[dweebus]

i have a couple of different ones.
"never give up, never back down and never be disapointed with any result so long as you have given it your best shot."

This is the toughest to live by, but clearly the wisest. You will always play someone who will make you look like an idiot, so the only way to gauge your play is against yourself. I know it's tough, but if you played your best and lost 21-11 you should not be disappointed.

I still am. I need to take more Zen pills...

[quik_silver]

my motto is RAWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!! YEAA!! :D:D

[Smash _Drop]

Lol :D

I've seen a lot of people with this motto ^^ ^^

i would agree....the truth is, this is not my motto, i believe in: "fairplay, honesty and above all...kicking the opponents backside" ;)

[noobtron]

Smash till you drop.

[Smash _Drop]

Smash till you drop.

I like It :D.........

[cheemou21]

'Play not to LOSE' Hehehe......:D:D

[Amin Khalili]

i would agree....the truth is, this is not my motto, i believe in: "fairplay, honesty and above all...kicking the opponents backside" ;)

yeah .. thats what i hope on every single of my match .... and about 'kicking the opponents backside' i also like it .. like to defend from opponent smash .... opponent smash from behind:D its make me easy for defend

[jafffa]

all your base are belong to us. :P

mine too XD. don't forget the robot voice

[drop2it]

"If at first you don't succeed, try, try, again!" (this motto applies to many things, but I don't think it should be the first choice for skydivers:))

[pickles8768]

i like "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" mostly

[Silver Bullet]

Kill! Kill! Kill!
Take no prisoners!

Basically an aggressive style. LOL

[Smichz]

If they're worse than me,i'll play around..but i'll catch up n beat them.But if they're better than me,i'll play seriously n never quits,no matter how far we left behind..no matter how good they are.N i always said to my partner who always have fun no matter whoever we played with,"U wanna have fun,go ahead,but make sure we win at the end".

[venkatesh]

For women in mixed doubles, "racket up"

[WhiteRice94]

im always thinking in my mind "i messed up this set, but i'll beat you the next." excuses puts my brain to ease

[Amin Khalili]

[mtr1993]

"excuses puts my brain to ease"- my doubles partner uses that one

[Phydhel]

just recently i changed mine from "I can Win this, don't give up" to "just play the game and let your instincts do the job"

this is something i realized recently which really helped my game. check out this thread and do some research. it may change your mindset on court forever.

This frame of mind is also single-handedly responsible for my modest amount of success. Too often we hear the "failure is not an option" speech from figures of authority. Fact is, if you throw two people together in a match on a badminton court (or in any other conflict, for that matter) then someone has to come out on top. The sooner we all come to accept this, the better off we'll all be.

My boy's coach has a very good and simple motto "FOCUS". I think it is very apt for players who wants to improve their badminton game. FOCUS.
F for Fighting Spirit, be Fearless, be FOCUS.
O for taking the Opportunity to learn/improve/train or to kill off the opponent during the game.
C = Creativity, about creating chances to win
U = Understanding the skills and strategy
S = Success will come eventually.
If in trouble, just remember FOCUS!!!

[Break-My-String]

On the court:

After losing the rally...

... Boy, do I feel old! (hee hee but I got you running 4 times further than me)

After winning the rally...

... YES! (old fart trick shot #3, 28 remaining)


Off the court:

"An empty badminton court is a terrible thing to waste!"


Cheers!

[cappy75]

In light of the rally point system, my motto nowadays should be this:

"Just keep the bloody shuttle in play!"

It's kinda strange but we get more unforced errors than before when we're playing 15 points.

[Destricto_Ense]

"If it's to your backhand, hit it even if it's going out"

Just.. erm, to practise. I don't play real competitive matches right now, so I'd rather improve my technique in friendly matches in order to be better if I ever do play real matches.

I like the motto - It is very wise :D

[b0urg301s13]

if you think that losing is hard, try winning....

[drop2it]

I like the motto - It is very wise :D

I like to think so - It's my personal adaptation of "bushido." Bushido is the concept that Peter Rasmussen gave credit to for his unlikely 1997 world championship. Do a wikipedia search on it, you might find it interesting. Here's another motto that I personalized a little:

"Do not be overly concerned with victory, for walking the path is enough."

[Tornoni]

No blood, no tear, sweat only, please.:D

[Tornoni]

Smash till you drop.:confused:

"Smash 'till I drop" is more likely :) as the smasher is tired sooner.

[ray_mond]

no no no no, this one is the killer one i tell all my friends.

"as long as you do a drop to the right place at the right time, you will always win!"

:D

[!¿Clue?!]

If you can't smash 'em, KILL 'EM!

:eek:

[venkatesh]

If you can't smash 'em, KILL 'EM!

[Tornoni]

Another one.
Not so gentlemen anymore.

If you win " It's been a pleasure playing with you.":):):)
If you lose " Kick your ass":D:D:D

[surge]

keep the rally going and make the game fun.

being a social player, i only play like 1-2 times a week. so each time the focus is to have a good sweat.

a good game is one that have good rallies(hopefully last at least 25min per game. not one that you can smash at the weakest link and win in <10mins.

[Jonnyb]

My motto when scoring a point is 'You cant teach that!'

[Amin Khalili]

[hellopanda3]

My favorite motto is something I hear this oldish man in my club say all the time.

"MURDER MURDER"

He says it whenever he's watching a match and sees someone smash the birdie for a winner.

That's pretty funny .... and perhaps a little disturbing.:eek:
You probably shouldn't ever accept a drive home from him.

When playing XD with some of the more timid ladies in my club, I used to try to get them going with "Kill!Crush!Destroy!". It's amazing what a violent mantra can make a nice lady do.

[Pete LSD]

:rolleyes: Oh dear, verbal violence on court :D. What about verbal love to encourage the players to engage in an intensive game-man-ship?

Should be ~ "Be patient, strategic and create the opportunity for the kill."

"what the hell does try mean"

[SuperBird]

"STop yelling Out, Hit that ****!!!!"

[Mark A]

My own personal mantra is "hit it downwards".

Others I've heard include the ever-popular "hit it where they aren't", "hit it where they least want it" and, probably my favourite, "don't pat it - T**T IT!" (which will probably only make sense to the Brits;)).

A couple of anti-mottos (i.e. phrases to decry bad play) have surfaced at our club as well - "poor standard", "weak", and, the ultimate putdown, "not good enough at this level".

[vedriegas]

smah is the best experience

[Amin Khalili]

kill kill kill...will fail against better players.

Should be ~ "Be patient, strategic and create the opportunity for the kill."
You really helping me with that .. thank you!
I almost forgot all that ..
BTW he is not a better player , Im really sure he is not . Just a noob who like to talk like he is better and talk like his friend/enemy/opponent is weak(he have many more bad attitude) . Im really sure he is a noob because have sooo many reasons to prove he is!

[Amin Khalili]

"what the hell does try mean"
I love this one ..
One of my national junior squad team say to me that I cant try and must do it!
BTW , it remember me to my old football coach that always ask me to "TRY! TRY! TRY!"

kill kill kill...will fail against better players.

Should be ~ "Be patient, strategic and create the opportunity for the kill."

so true. i play to win. winning doesn't necessarily means winning the game

Anyone have any idea ... ?

you know how in pro matches
the first scrore the umpire calls is love all?
love all means both teams have 0
and next point would be love - 1

so love mean the person has 0 points

[mettayogi]

The origin of the use of "love" for zero is also disputed; it is possible that it derives from the French word for the egg (l'œuf) because an egg looks like the number zero. "Love" is also said to derive from "l'heure" or "the hour" (more likely to be translated as "the time") in French. Another possibility of the origin comes from the Dutch "iets voor lof doen," which means to do something for nothing. The word 'lof' (nothing) has changed over time to 'love'

"Who dares win" - The famous SAS motto.

Both these from the army, I'm not in the army but I like them.

"The easiest day was yesterday"
:eek::eek: US Navy SEALs :D

In that case, my personal favourite has to be Mors ab alto. Death from above. Very fitting for a jump smash :p

[RocKai]

Is that from the Air Force?

[Shifty]

yeah, it's from 7th Bomb Wing of USAF

Sounds like Kama-Kazee lol ( could be wrong spelling, not a Japanese). But you know what that means.

Mine moto is: Raid fire (Smash) ... take cover (defence) ... drop dead (drop shot) lol

[GameGod]

Here it is:

"Beat the people that are better than me (i.e. 4 people in my age group for my club), beat the people that are worse than me, and beat/surpass my coaches and my dad. Never hold back against anyone in my league."

I am not actually likely to beat either my coaches, my dad or more than 2 of my current superiors (as the last 2 are absolute monsters, for want of a better word), but there's nothing wrong with trying, is there?

[Shifty]

that's not really a motto so much as a goal...

[krisss]

rather lose with style than win without...

Thats a good motto.

Its a good never give up motto!

[dorysan]

"every win starts in your head"

[Nightbird]

Your body is mine tonight:D....

Aim at the body as much as u can..Nothing is more frustrating especially when you apologize everytime as well:p..

[krisss]

"every win starts in your head"

I defintly approve of this dorysan.

For me , there is no point of even getting on the court , if you think you are going to lose.

[dorysan]

for next times my name is Dory...
just an little story how i got that motto:
it was the first stage in the Israeli national tournament U17
i was vs some guy that even my couch didn't come to see me playing...
few moments before it i ate some food...so i was in 100% done (dead lol)
first point. im serving...
my first thought was "lets show everyone how you do it"
and in 10-5 for me. no one was playing on the other courts.
just looking on my game
and i won the first set..
in the second i was a bit confused "how the hell i did that?"
so i started to play easy and saved some strength for the 3th set
i lost in the second on 19
3 set was the best one... 21-13
for me...
from that day it is the only thought in the head when im playing
the sad thing was that i lost in the other game
cuz i was dead cant move at all

[chrisnchips]

in reply to when i win

"iono, I just had fun"

in reply to when i lose

"Damn, I suck."

[SibugiChai]

Bet 100plus play 100%, no 100plus 0%

[Mr.Big-Smash]

Smash your way to Victory!
Power your way through the game!

[Phydhel]

My motto is:

Don't think, just play.

and it works like magic
