Do you have a coach, either personal coach or the coach of your school team (which school do you play for?) He/she should be able to advise you. If not, one is recommended.... see the Singapore subforum on getting coaching .
help me all. pls yeah.. i have one.. he's a ex-national player. he's coaching me. but he tells me that i have to use my footwork when having fun with playing my friends. that's all.
if you really wnat it, just practise more. do some stamina-training. 2 vs 1 drills..that sorta stuff... ask your coach/trainer to critisise every mistake you make, and make a note to yourself what/how to change it... just don't forget you still gotta like the game
if you can't have a coach try to record yourself playing you will see how obvious your mistakes are pick some of them (e.g. how and where do you stay when waiting for the return) and try to improve hope this helps regards dzgdz
My GOD! thanks guys! i'll try to folo yr instructions/advices.. hope it works.. anyone stay near Jurong East Sports Hall/in S'Pore? Maybe wana mit up and play or something? Haaha. Make friends....... =D
This does not make sense. Either you are good and your friends are lying to you or your friends are a lot better than you are. Can you compete with your friends? If so, don't worry about what they say.
day mean dat.. i'm good. but dey say im not good enough. i dono why. lol. ermm. are u from s'pore? can make friends n mayb mit up or sth den we play n u point out my mistakes?
R U from the Dark side Believe in yourself that you are a better player than what others say, used negative comments to strenghten your mental fitness.(Mental fitness is very important in badminton in the more advance stages. ). As your coach mention about your footwork... poor stamina could be due to poor footwork...so is very important that you improved on it. Do rope skipping for 5 to 10 minutes (varies the speed of skipping i.e slow -fast-slow . Next do some spilt movement, chasse movement, lunge forwards and all the basic movements for another 10 t0 15 minutes (ensure that all the movements are done correctly) have a break and finally do 3 to 10 minutes of shadow badminton with total concertation/focus as if you are playing again a professional player making sure that you cover all corners and make it as realistic as you can.At first it's look crazy but after a few days your form will improved. But REMEMBER BELIEVE IN YOURSELY and you will make it's happen.
