Tao of Badminton

I come to realise the mental part of badminton by playing double. When team up with someone, there is teamwork and communication. During fast pace, knowing your partner is more important and knowing the opponents. Encouragement from partner to steady my thoughts and readiness to take the next exchange.

I like to think that like tai chi, badminton have flow. Go with the flow will keep the practise smooth. In competition then need to break the flow. Have and don't have in the mind will translate into have and don't have in the score.

Casual players can imitate swordsman style, more specific the mental game like a warrior. Enjoy the exercise.
