Need Coaching In San Diego

TI-SP-SS dude · 05-15-2003, 12:34 AM

Hello all, i am looking for a Badminton coach, to coach me over the summer.

I need help in hitting all of my shots correctly and need help on how to hit them effectively. Right now i only know what my assistant coach (at school) calls a basic clear, basic drop, basic smash, and basic lift and backhand. He says i need to learn more things like cross court drops, and improve the power on all of my shots. Altough i think of my self as a pretty good player for only having played for a year, he IS the coach after all. I also need Help on tatics for singles and doubles

Where: At the Tierrasanta Rec Center on Mondays or Balboa on Sundays

Thank you

I was once told, the owner of San Diego Badminton Supply - Mike does coaching sessions (San Jose University???).

If possible, give him a call, and see whether you can attend his training sessions, if the location, price and schedule fit for your need.

Is that possible to post a flyer on ur local club(s)' message board about ur request? Put in ur desireable range, location, schedule and phone #. Maybe some qualified candidates can contact u directly?

TI-SP-SS dude,
Are you interested in going up to LA to coach? it's about 2 hours drive from SD. But you can find some quality coaches there. Mike was my coach in SD, but now that he's too busy, I have been going up to LA for trainings. If you're interested, there are a few places you can get trainings from. You can even get trained 1 on 1 by Tony Guanwan if you want, he's only 1.5 hours away in Orange County.
