Prepare For Your Badminton Tournament With These 6 Steps


Badminton is a technically-intensive sport and it requires great hand-eye coordination skills and an out of this world reflexes, agility and the ability to read the game before a 400+ km/h smash comes haunting you. That’s why with these facts your preparation will determine the outcome of your badminton match.

 Badminton can be played in two formats which are two opposing players which is the singles or the two opposing pairs which is the doubles. The opposing players will take positions on opposite halves of the badminton court that is being divided by a net and the main goal is to strike the shuttlecock with their racket so that it passes over the net and lands in their opponents half.

 If you are planning to test how far you can go in a badminton game these are the things that you need to consider and do to be able to prepare better in your game;

 Step One: Rest at least 1 week prior to the tournament

 Professionals are reducing the amount of their training when a tournament is near. The recovery period is important and critical to make sure your body goes back to the very best condition. A lot of players mostly amateurs when they have a game scheduled tomorrow they still want to train and play vigorously and this causes a lot of physical exertion, resulting in the fatigue and poor psychological state.

 Step Two: A day before the tournament

 Please make sure that you avoid the following; No Alcohol because you need to clear your mind, do not stay up too late even if you are so excited with your match try to rest and get more sleep to recharge your body, Stop using the computer, phone and etc. for a long period of time to and rest your eyes. All these things will directly lead to slower brain response and reaction time.

 Step Three: The night before

 Make sure that you have a list of the things that you need to bring and that you might need before and after your match. Make sure that you bring everything and put into your racket bag.

 Step Four: Day of the tournament

 Do not over eat. Be disciplined in your eating you can have your meal one hour before your scheduled playing time. Only take easily digestive and high energy food. Because if you eat too much you might feel bloated and various stomach discomfort.

 Step Five: The tournament

 Loosen your muscles and get them ready for a high performance. Static stretch from head to toes for 10 minutes, then do a jog, some footwork drills, and stroke with a partner for another 10 minutes so that your muscle will not be stiff and you won’t experience leg cramps. It is good to get a little sweat out and warm the entire body so you can fully move as you play the game to your full potential.

 Step Six: During the match

 Adopt the right and good mental state as you approach your match. Being too conscious of winning and losing, seeking shortcuts to win a rally, being nervous, and any other should not be allowed to creep into your game. Never Say Die and Noting to Lose/Underdog mentality when your opponent is stronger. Keep your body relaxed and focus on the main goal.

 Be well aware of these steps to better prepare yourself into a badminton match! Be Competitive but have fun and do not forget to enjoy every bit of the game and be cheerful in winning and most of all in loosing.

    I had problem with my Ex husband a year ago, which lead to our break up. when he broke up with me, I was not my self again, i felt so empty inside me, my love and financial situation became worst, until a close friend of mine told me about a spell caster who helped her in the same problem too his name is Robinson buckler . I email Robinsonbuckler@hotmail. com the and i told him my problem and i did what he asked of me, to cut the long story short. Before i knew what was happening my husband gave me a call and told me that he was coming back to me in just 3days and was so happy to have him back to me. We have two kids together and we are happy with ourselves.
