    Hi Jonas. I've been wondering how did you start out? At what age did you start playing. I've been playing badminton for a year, and I've become a fanatic. As strange as it sounds, I want to take badminton as a profession, maybe to play for the Philippines :D. I'm asking you this because maybe I've started to late. :( I've read your post, so please tell me if this mesage is too personal. Thank you :)

    Hi Keith!!

    Great to hear that you´re a badminton fanatic.

    I´ve always played badminton also before I started in a club.

    As a kid I played with all the local boys in a schoolyard with a big fence, bigger than a normal net, as soon as there was not too much wind.

    Then one day one of my friends challenged me to play on a real court because I always beat him on our invented court.
    I beat him 13-12 in the 3rd set the first time we played when I was 9-years old and never lost to him since even in practice.

    This was how I got started.

    If you have any other questions on getting a better player feel free to ask me or Thomas.

    Kind Regards

    Jonas
