Playing better badminton

To improve in badminton, you need to have:

1. video lessons to learn the proper technique:

The above could take months (perhaps years) to learn properly. See also:

You can watch the above videos on your own, with a friend or with a coach.

2. good coaches (to tell you what you are doing wrong, and what you should do instead). Both one-to-one coaching as well as one-to-many drills/practice are needed. Coaches may practice or spar with you or he may give u advice whilst you are playing for real (eg, in tournaments).


3. good players to practice/spar with. (Good players will also be good coaches. They will tell u what u are doing wrong and what u should do instead.) You need to play with players who are better than you.

4. good training on strength, endurance/stamina and fitness.

5. local tournaments to participate in. (These are like exams; without exams, you will never improve.)

6. a camera to video record your own play. you can post your video here at BC for us to discuss about it.

7. international tournaments to watch:
