Hey,
I was wondering how do you maintain your focus? I often lose mine and though I won't visibly get angry when playing a bad shot, I often get frustated a bit and well that's when one bad shot starts following another... (also I tend to rush things a bit when that happens, so I won't be as relaxed as I probably should be).
Everytime I go to practice (3x a week) I set myself goals to accomplish or things to concentrate on. Because I just started off with badminton, they won't be to fancy and look something like:
"clear: arms parralell with shoulder, relaxed grip before and tightening grip on impact, quick return to base position after each shot,..."
However I find it hard to keep all that in mind and pay attention to each single step. My clubmate suggested that I might be trying to do just too much at once. Nevertheless I would really really appreciate any advice on keeping my composure and most importantly my focus, because I really think it's hindering me to improve faster.
Cheers
Seb
