Factors affect Career

As we all know it's too hard to build a good career in badminton so i am going to tell you about factors affecting your Career Think about them and see your progress-
-Facility
-Coach
-Training Partner
-Funding
-What time of the year you were born 
-Support group - parents etc
-Injuries
-Where you live
-Luck
-Genetics
-Age you start at
-Attitude
-Other sports you pursue from young age
-Decisions you make related to badminton

Lots of people ask "if I play 3 times a week for a year how long will it take me to achieve x and y..."
"If I start at age 15 can I be national player..."

These are pointless questions.

People also say "I've lost motivation, I normally beat him, I was good but got injured, I don't get the training they do in China/Denamrk/the next school..., my coach is not good, my partners are bad...." Not interested in your excuses, pointless.

What matters is what you do today, do you do what you can as best you can. It doesn't really matter if its enough, if its the best thing to do, if its perfect, if you started late, if you're not as good, if you are very motivated to be champion or lost your motivation. Just start....

Have a goal to be world champion even if you started at 15.
So Problem comes in everyone's life ,may be you don't have all the resources ,but if you wanna be a professional player so learn to use the maximum of resources available to you

It is said "Two points define your success
1.How do you manage when you have nothing
2.How do you behave when you have something

The perfect age to start Badmintion

There is quote says " if there's is a will then there's a way". Indeed if the will constitutes continuous hard effort and determination, the way to reach that desire goal can be achieve. In relating this to Badminton, if you train very hard continuously every day, every week with high level of self discipline and determination, no doubt you can improve the way you play and upgrade yourself to become a much better player.

One must understand that learning badminton, similarly like learning other sports has its own learning curvature. You don't simply be a National level player out of nowhere at Day 1 playing badminton because to be at such level, the learning curvature need to start somewhere first before progressing into such level of performance. The outcome for such performance also involves other important factors such as your physicality hence influences your fitness. That's why the younger you start  but due to the fact that the room for technique improvements fusing together with the improvements of physicality is a lot, therefore if the player train very hard earlier e.g 7 +, the chance to reach its peak performance earlier e.g 17 + thus representing the national level is very high.

One must understand also, there is some level of process involved to be at such level and like in Malaysia, you start competing at a district level to represent your district first and then while representing your district, you need to compete at the state level to represent your state. While playing for your state, you then again compete at the national level to be a National player. Even you are born to be so talented in badminton but you're not exposed to such level of competition, then no badminton association will know you and its impossible to be a National player.


Therefore even though age doesn't matters,your efforts and self discipline matter, if your correlate the above fact with your aim to be a World Champion, unless at  age you are now currently among the best players in this World, then its unlikely you can achieve it. Nevermine, you don't need to be a World Champion unless at this present point of time you can beat LCW, LD etc, at your current productive age, you still can train very hard and try to achieve something with badminton regardless at what level of competition.

 So the conclusion is this you can should start at 7+ but if you have strong will power you can start at 17+ too
but you have to work hard day and night.It's will be "do and die" situation  for you at 17.

What to do when loose points during rally?

#1 rule. You give your 100% until the game is complete.
#2 Rule. The game is only complete when the final point has been played.

TRY THIS DURING PLAYING GAME ON COURT

*In badminton the most important point is???
The next one.
So if u lose a point too bad move on to the next 1. Don't even think about it its gone its done. Yes you can recap and think ok hes pushing me around i have gotta gain control and move him around more.
But never go among ......i'm losing....i just lost the point now the 3 behind
your 3 behind ...more like only 3 more points till i'm winning.
become more positive and confident in yourself and your game and you will be fine.

*Always put 100% into every point. Dont' think about scores, but about winning the rally at hand. Don't ever let up because who knows, your opponent could go from 20-0 to 20-22 if you don't make sure you're in control at all times.

*Just Close your eyes and say something to yourself
-He is just a human like nothing more
-I'M born to win
-I must give him a good fight

* After trying this what to do when all goes wrong during match,answer is here

• Find your opponent doesn't like or respond well to i.e.change in pace(fast or slow),if he good at attack,play him at net more


• Use the element of surprise,add confusions i.e.flicking.make yourself unpredictable


• Take Chances

Tell me what you do when you loose points

Thanks

Age matters?

Hi
Today i am going to tell you about age.You will have lots of questions about age

At what age i should start?

Have i late to play badminton professionally?

I have the answer .
                Basically is it the best as early as you start to play badminton like at the age of 5,6or7.Lin dan started at the age of 6 .But lee chong wei (world's champion) Started at 11.Peter gade at 13.Mostly start around 10 or 12 .Now the question arises if you are 16,17or 18.can you think about badminton as a career.Most of the coaches and senior players will suggest you not to choose badminton as a career but in my opinion they are all wrong you can start at 18 even and can be world champion if you have strong will power and continous hard efforts.Nothing is impossible.It is said by Swami Vivekanand "EVEN MAN DOESN'T KNOW HIS FULL POTENTIAL"
       You need dedication and self discipline to achieve your targets .Here age doesn't matters,what matters ,your will power to do efforts.You need a high level of motivation to do this.To stay motivated read the stories of most exceptional people in world ,read motivational quotes everyday.Stay Positive always and do meditation.
So in the last i will say age doesn't matters,your efforts and self discipline matters ,It up to you what you think
Share your views and opinion with me.

How to be a professional badminton player-3(court Skills)

Only fitness and fluid moment is not enough to be a professional badminton .you should have perfect court skills .Today i will explain you about how to improve court skills.Court skills means deception.accuracy and consistency.
Deception-In order to be deceptive, you have to keep your opponents guessing. Basic preparations for executing shots are all the same. You will discover that the angle of the racket face, speed of the racket head and point of the impact can be changed to create deception. Of course there's a need for experience.
Deceptive Lifts :-

• Hold and flick(The basic idea is to play your lifts with a very short hitting action. Your preparation should look the same as a net shot, and you should hold this posture as long as you can.)


• Reversing the hold-and-flick(As an occasional variation, you can reverse this deception by making a larger swing—as though playing a lift—before slowing down your racket movement and playing a net shot. The downside is that your net shot will be less accurate; the upside is that, because this deception is less common, it’s more surprising)


• Double motion(For example, you can start a racket swing in a cross-court direction, before withdrawing the racket and quickly playing a straight shot instead (bending back the wrist to help achieve the straight angle.)


• Slicing your lifts(This is technically very difficult, but it can produce spectacular results. As with double motion, sliced lifts are used to mislead your opponent about the direction of the shot; but they can be more deceptive, because they use an uninterrupted swing.)

Accuracy-In order to gain accuracy, you need to have good footwork, technique and also fitness. You can develop shot accuracy through multi-shuttle drills. You have to hit a lot of shuttles toward the same spot on the other side of the court.In a match, an accurate and consistent performance will give you an advantage when you are under pressure. The advantage refers to driving your opponent to commit unforced errors and making wrong decisions first.

Consistency -Before hitting the shots accurately, you need to have the consistency first. Consistency can be defined as keeping the shots simple and safe over the net. In order to be consistent, frequent and repetitive practice of a technique is needed. Understand the techniques first before gaining the skills.
Try to repeat the shots again and again until you master it. Soon, no one would dare to have a match with you.
