Keep Participating Tournaments

Don't miss any tournaments near you even your game is not is so good to win that tournament but i think Win or Loss doesn't matter ,you will learn something new from every tournaments you play and you will also get motivation for doing hard work in your practice session.Here i am dying to play tournaments.Till now i am 18 and played only two tournaments,one state and one district.I got 3rd position in state championship and lost in quarter final in district by the winner of that tournament.
SO keep playing and keep learning

Thanks

Wrist Band

Wear wrist band to Avoid the sweat coming into your fist of hand .
I am telling you my personal experience ,1 month ago i didn't used to wear wrist band and that's why sweat comes to my fist and i fail to make a strong grip on raquet .During smashing i fail to transfer all the force generated into smash,I wasn't understanding that why my smashes are not going with high velocity even after putting great force of arm into smash,but few days ago i started to wear wrist band during playing,and i see the great results ,Now I have a great grip on racquet and my smashes are lighting fast.
Wash wrist band by water daily after practice session and it will be ready for next day.
May be a question Aries in your mind that why Lin Dan,Lee chong wei,etc International players don't wear wrist band and even they play a high quality game ,it is because they have a special type of power and they spray the powder on racquet grip after 4-5 points and continue their game,this type of powder is not commonly available so wrist band is a good option for making a firm grip.
IT WORKS!

Motivational Song-"Let's Walk On"

Over and over Say this my friend

May victory be ours and defeat  theirs
Let no one win against us
Let's walk on,Let's walk on
All who challenge us will perish
Let's walk on
Even if it is pitch dark
Let's walk on,Let's walk on
Let no one lag behind
Let's walk on
Should one finger rise,it shall break
When five fingers join,They form a fist
Let our unity grow Come on,
Let's Walk on
However seductive the lure
Let's Walk on
Let no one win against us
Let's walk on Let's walk on
all who challenge us will perish
Let's Walk on
Let no one stop you obstruct you,Break all barriers
What do you get from being weak and powerless?
May we never suffer again,so great be our play,the enemy will lose
We will now take the path of courage
We will shake up this earth
We will show everyone
Who is king ,Who is slave
We will show this world,What we are worth
Over and over Say this,my friend
May victory be ours And defeat theirs
No fear will enter our hearts
Let's walk on
Every shackle will now break open
Let's walk on
Keep walking Don't ever falter
You are the journeyman of the road,may you never be worry
He that rules you Is a tyrant,he that has destroyed us
His home is in the west
We will make sure,He will not remain
We will shake up this earth
We will show everyone
Who is king,Who is slave
We shall show this world
What we are worth,What has to happen ,Will happen
Let's walk on
May no one bow his head
Let's walk on,Let's walk on

Lee Chong Family Interview (After Olympics 2008)

Father:Kuala Lumpur

Mother:Khor Kim
Sister:Lee Mei Chung
Girlfriend:Wong Mee Choo
Coach:Misbun Sidek

Lee Chong Wei Father was disappointed by the defeat of his son in Olympics Final.Let's see what his parents  said:
Father:I didn't expect him to lose so badly.Perhaps, he was too careful, and that actually caused more errors.I hope Malaysia will forgive him.Chong Wei wants a gold medal,just like any other athlete.He wanted the gold medal more than anyone else.Any athlete will be sad when they lose a match.Just like Mew Choo and Lee Hyun-II.I hope we do not burden our athletes too much.Be supportive and encouraging and not too harsh.Misbun)LCW coach) improved his stamina a great deal.He constantly arrives at training sessions first,always before chong wei.He rarely asked for my permission to take my racquet.Back then,badminton racquets were considered treasured possessions.A racquet cost about RM90 and i only earned a few hundred a month in those days.He insisted that we let him attend badminton training.Mr.Teh ,who was a local coach,spotted his talent.I took him to all the competitions in Penang and Perak.As he wan't very tall,everyone was surprised to see him play.My intention was to expose him so that he gained more experience.He would usually reach the semifinals and the crowed loved him.Since the age of 14,he was winning most of the youth tournaments.Men's singles,Men's doubles,mixed doubles,anything he entered.Some People even asked him to "Balik Kampung".He really hated that.Everyone has their highs and lows.Why did they have to be so harsh?

Mother(Phone):Don't be so hard on yourself,be proud for the silver medal that you won.
He is in very low spirits at the moment.When he's in a good mood.He's always joking around.The disappointment he's feeling is so obvious.Running up the steps to Batu Caves was a tough part of my training.They would do 5 rounds every morning to increase their stamina.He could not squat after the training.As a mother ,I wanted him by my side but his father claimed that the National Team was his future.Without badminton,he would have nothing.It is good that he has a girlfriend, at least it keeps him away from unsavoury characters and Mew Choo is a very nice girl.

Sister: During tournaments,he's always in touch with everyone and tells us everything.He keeps us informed on the results after each match.We seldom call him though.We are so worried when he gets too emotional after  a loss.When he was kid,he would always chase after the shuttle.As he was so little ,his elder brothers did not like playing with him.So he ended up playing against wall.He would play badminton after school everyday.Our elder brother,who took care of us at the time,would wait for him with a cane at home.The worst incident was when LCW was once accused of stealing.I felt so angry when my brother told me.He was slapped.That particular incident hurt him very much.I keep arguing with my parents,asking them to bring him home.I just wanted him to come home.But my father said that at such a young age ,there wasn't much more he could do.Chong Wei insisted on playing on.

Coach:LCW attitude during training?There is no complains .Whatever i have been  asking him to do,he always got the target.So when he got the target,in different intensity,Capacity,Duration it varies.But whatever he targeted he accomplished.About his relationship,may be they are couple outside but during training session he only focus on practice.

Note:I have already written about his girlfriend interview .

What not to eat !

Diet is very important for badminton players so keep your diet good and balanced.i have described fully about diet in my earlier post.today i will tell you what not to eat:-
1.Avoid oily and fried things like chips,paties,samosha etc
2.Avoid cold drinks.
3.Avoid regular tea and coffee ,but you can take sometimes when you feel tired or you have got fever.

What to take and not before a match:-

Always eat veggies to make you fit 'n right! drink milk too for stronger bones too!
make sure you drink water before and during, but not too much
remember: don't eat foods that will make feel sick before you play badminton! it would make you feel uncomfortable! if you feel uncomfortable, there would be more less chance for you to win.

Which Shuttle to play?

There are two types of shuttles available in market,The one is feather and second is nylon.
Nylon shuttles are cheaper than feather so it is good for those who play badminton just for fun but those who are thinking to play badminton professionally  shouldn't play with nylon shuttles ,they should practice and play with feather shuttles because always feather shuttles are used in all the tournaments.
     I know feather shuttles are costly,(Yonex Charges are  Rs750 for 12 pieces) but it is not essential to play with yonex feather shuttles,many other brands are available like focus,star,dhara,lotus etc,(Rs140-500 )
Advantages of feather shuttles:-
1.Feather shuttle will go to the place where you want so it also improve your judgement.
2.Feather shuttles need more power to play so your stamina and power will also improve.
3.Your net play will improve.

Smash That won't be coming back

Badminton is a game of lighting fast smashes,but only the speed is not enough to win the rally,you should have a strategy of smashing,I want to share what i know ,i think it will help you.
When you got chance to smash ,Smash it damn hardly,If returns it well and again give you the opportunity to smash again,Don't smash at the same place .so your opponent that you will smash again at the same way and place you have done before but change the direction slightly and smash like first smash on her forehand and then show him that you will again smash on his forehand but smash on his backhand or on his body,I think he will not return it or if he return it will be weak return.

Thanks

Positive Thinking (Motivation)I am Olympic Champion

Today's discussions is a different thing,it's about how to visualize success.If you can visualize your success ,then no one can stop you.So how to do it
It doesn't matter how success are you now but If you want to achieve your target you have to feel the moment ,you have to visualize it.Let you wanna be a Olympics Champion like me ,i know it is damn hard but not impossible Remember "Impossible is a opinion .not a Fact" ,So Just visualize that you have won the gold Metal in Olympics ,just close your eyes and see ,you are standing on the gold medalist podium with the Olympics Trophy in your hands .A big crowd is cheering for you & you are so happy.You are telling everybody that this is my life And then comes to reality that what you are now.
Then Start working what you have visualized.
Remember "I wanna be a Olympics Champion" AND "I am the Olympics Champion" are two different things.
Have a blind faith in yourself that you are Born only to play this game and no one can stop me .
So what i want to share with you is stay positive always ,if you  think positive even in worst conditions ,you will achieve what you want.
Scientifically If you are thinking positive ,it means you are attracting positive things and vice-versa, Watch The Movie"The Secret"2006 this movie is documentary on how positivity helps you,it's a great movie watch it many times ,To feel that moment watch videos of it ,go there ,talk about it ,keep it mind every time.
So lets a example I have one friend Mr. Sunil Jain which is a goverrment employ in BSNL Company ,he lives in Charkhi Dadri City but he transferred to Rohtak City but he visualizes everyday he is Charkhi dadri ,he thinks that he is in same office ,and after some time he got permanent transferred back to his hometown "Charkhi Dadri" SO i think you have understand what i want to say.
I think it will help you in working hard on your target ,
Remember the logic,feel that you have won .the thing waht you want and then working on it.
It works ,Every where Every field Every Place Every second

Check And Change

It is very important to check your game regularly to improve it.If you keep going playing and playing then your game will not improve.To improve the game you should apply the rule check and change.
                   Keep a small diary with you when you go for play or training ,after practice session ,write down the points like
-What to improve
-What i learn today
-What not to do,etc
Notice each points that how your opponent takes points from you and practice on that points and your game will start to improve ,There is a saying "When you are on the top,Keep ascending otherwise you will start to descending" So Note down your weaknesses and then work on them ,your game will surely improve.

Thanks
