When im playing, I run around a lot, but when the easy shots come, my legs feel dead and dont move for them. What's wrong with me? What should i do to get rid of this?
I think you mean that you slack when you face easy shot? I sometimes do that, but mostly in late games like playing after 3~4hours, and this means that you didn't fully concentrate on the game or should i say focus. If i felt that i'm slacking, i will sat down for a short moment, shake my head for like 1~2 sec, and i'm fully refreshed, maybe getting some drinks work too! Hope it helps
maybe you always run around the court a lot retrieving many shots and by the time you get a chance for a kill you mess up because you're already out of energy? if that's the case, then you want to work on your stamina as well as your footwork. learn to move efficiently on the court with the correct footwork, and also work on your stamina so you can move on the court longer than you do now.
Perhaps you haven't learnt the rhythm changes in footwork. In fact, how would you rate your footwork? Have you done footwork training before under a coach?
Hi there, Running a lot while playing does not necessarily indicate that you have the correct footwork technique. Regardless if your movements is able to cover every length of the court or retrieve every birdie sent by the opponent but your initial foot movements and it's subsequent follow up movements seems to be sluggish then its highly that your technique of movements is not correct. The key criteria in regards about the correct footwork movements is about: 1. Process - Movements that allow you to reach the birdie at the earliest opportunity Effect - By able to reach the birdie at the earliest opportunity, the chances to deliver a winning shot or an opportunity for a winning shot is greater 2.

Experiencing the condition that you're stating now is one of the many indicators that you need to train your footwork movements in order to gain that precious agility in all aspect of your movements so that your footwork movements can comply all the key criteria as stated above.

It's called "choking when you finally get the chance to score" I think If its really footwork that is the problem, well, just take some short fast steps instead of the long running ones
