I have YY badminton shoes, YY badminton rackets, YY shuttlecocks, and YY badminton clothes and pants. I've received training from a professional badminton coach.
It seems like I'm on the fast track to becoming an expert...
But is that really the case? No, it's not.
Using a full set of professional equipment, under the meticulous guidance of a coach,
today we practice serving, tomorrow net shots, the day after killing, and then pushing the shuttlecock...
Will experts be born this way?
Everyone can think of one thing missing: more practice.
Exactly, will practicing more make you an expert?
In my exchanges with many friends, regarding their frustration with the slow improvement in their badminton skills,
I express sympathy.
I also point out the main reason: You lack nothing but the amount of practice, which needs to be large enough
to reach your body's limit.
As everyone knows, weightlifters cannot lift very heavy barbells at the beginning. They increase the load gradually, allowing their bodies to handle heavier weights step by step, surpassing their own physical limits, reaching weights that surprise themselves!
On the court, I see many friends playing badminton seriously, practicing for five minutes, playing for an hour, and then stopping, with sweat-soaked clothes.
Hmm, pretty good, but do you think that's enough?
The volume is too small! The body doesn't remember, it hasn't reached its limit!
Many friends want to learn badminton. I say, sure, no problem, let's play half-court first.
The result? After five minutes of high clears, arbitrary half-court play, they can't take it anymore, breaking out in a light sweat,
and immediately running down to sit and rest...
Friend, can you really master badminton this way? Even if I were to immediately explain a bunch of badminton techniques to you, do you think you could learn well this way?
I believe most advanced amateur players understand: Training without sufficient volume is useless... Hopefully, this isn't too much of a blow to you!
Each time you play casually, watch videos, and then play again the next day, repeating the cycle, the effect is minimal.
My suggestion: During each activity, find a badminton expert in the team to practice high clears and half-court (more rounds, more strokes to develop ball sense) until you reach your body's limit.
Ideally, push through even after reaching the limit, until the old limit passes and a new one comes, repeating this cycle. Even if you're not particularly sensitive to technique, after some time, the results will be
very noticeable.
Some friends score 80 points for their movements, 70 points for ball sense, but only 30 points when competing, simply because they lack the volume, always playing casually, playing for ten minutes and resting for ten minutes. In real matches, no one will sympathize with the losing side.
We have a badminton friend L in our club whose power and stability in high clears exceed mine. I often get tortured by him to the point where I have to go outside to breathe oxygen (air),
and once even got leg cramps, but he wasn't comfortable either. Although we tacitly understood each other, he also thought I was his best sparring partner in badminton, neither of us could do without the other.
Only I could help him reach the volume he wanted, and we practiced for over two years.
Besides me, lower-level players in the badminton team are frequently dragged onto the court by him to play half-court, stopping only when they score two points (under the 15-point system, with serving rights).
As a result, the lower-level players run back and forth non-stop, almost collapsing to the ground with their rackets, but still couldn't score two points, so they demanded to stop!!
Friend L disagreed, saying they hadn't scored two points yet and needed to persist. The opponent, in front of the crowd, felt embarrassed and continued to persevere. In the end, they played for another ten minutes or so,
but still couldn't score two points. Friend L said, "Let's continue next time" (actually giving the other person an easy way out), and ended the training.
In a very short time, those lower-level players made rapid progress. They flew all over the court playing badminton, even though their movements weren't very graceful (neither are ours).
Let your body reach its limit as much as possible, surpass the limit, and reach new heights—this is a universal rule in competitive sports.
Unless, you truly just want to sweat slowly, then take a shower and have a good sleep, without any demands on technique, in which case the above does not apply.
Note: The role of the limit and the role of physical endurance in improving badminton skills have similarities, but also differences.
Difference: Reaching the limit is beneficial for enhancing the body's memory, while physical endurance helps complete the match smoothly.
