Hello everyone, I picked up badminton in late '05 when some mates at work ridiculed me for being so bad at it. Started reading BC.com & tried as best I could to put it to practice. Wanted to shut my critics up (ego). Thankfully, I had less 'un-learning' to do due to my choice of readings Then, I sustained a bad injury (non-related to badminton) & was having problems coping (physically) with the pain & (psychologically) with the condition. One day, I just felt that I ought to get up & start playing & inexplicably discovered the beauty of the game. Especially about grace, humility, integrity & sportsmanship. I'd ALWAYS played sports, but never took the trouble to learn these values. Now, I'm addicted... I'm addicted to badminton mainly because it liberates me & makes me feel normal (have fractures in my spine, dessicated L5S1 with Annular Tear, etc...). Well, that's it from me for now. Thanks for reading...
