4 months into the 2016/2017 badminton season and I have already made great strides into making this my best season to date! I have now been promoted to the U16 and U17 age groups, which means my opponents are stronger, faster and more technically correct but this has not phased me, in fact, it has only made me want to play harder!

Aside from training during the off season, which is a must in order to compete with the older players and to stay ahead of opponents in my age group. I have also been receiving individual coaching from an ex Veteran England player, Ray Harding.

We have been working mainly on consistency and deception when playing shots. I have also been analysing international matches played by the best in the world in order to improve my match awareness and game sense.

As my badminton skill improves, my training techniques must also improve.That is why I would like to thank JHMT for their on going support because without them I would not be able to get individual coaching.

Stay tuned for my next update!
