Action: Badminton

I have been going for badminton practice every week for the past 3 weeks. My skills in badminton haven't been pretty mediocre, but I feel that after playing it every week, my skills have been improving.

I've developed new skills, for example; initially my skill in smashing wasn't that good, but on the 3rd week, i've been able to smash the shuttle more frequently.

My collaboration skills have been improving too, since I've been playing with partners quite a few times. By doing this we were able to decide about which position each one of us would play and also understanding who would hit the shuttle when it comes close to them.

I've often found that my aim when hitting the shuttle wasn't that good but through practice, I can say that it has improved.  The student leader, Laurens was able to show me the way to deflect smashes from other opponents which I feel has helped me a long way because I no longer stand there smiling when someone smashes the shuttle at me but I am able to serve it back.

Here's a picture of me along with Yoon Jae at the end of a match.

I hope to further develop my badminton skills throughout this year and next year in order for me to be able to try out for the SAISA Badminton team.
