With the new badminton season almost upon us, my thoughts have started to think about areas of improvement.
Have you used the off season to work on your game?
The areas I need to work on are my mind – keeping a calm head on when mistakes are made by giving away too many cheap points by my partner & myself, i.e. talking through a game plan not to lift to a certain player as he’s got a really good smash, for them to lift nearly every shuttle, even when saying I’d rather play flatter, downward shots & losing points. Keeping my body relaxed & concentrating on the next point, and finally not letting badminton determine my happiness.

Next up is movement – I’ve done some work during the summer but along way to go. Now need to put in more graft doing shuttle runs.
I’m looking forward to the launch of Paul’s International Badminton Club, watching videos showing correct technique thus helping move your game on.
As well as attending Lillieshall in September, so may be see some of you on court : )

Over to you!
