Thank you @Badminton Insight ! for the video

[@jlee8181]

Another great video. Here's another fundamental mistake in my opinion...Posture. I played badminton for 50 yrs and still am whacking the shuttles. Perhaps do a video on the importance of posture for beginners and even intermediate players... That is if you agree with me.

[@MunnaAnsari-us1cq]

I am started watching your channel from 4 weeks and your channel is best than other and the most important thing you are international badminton player and you helping beggners

[@aishakhatri9189]

The effort that you guys put in filming and editing each one of your videos is just amazing. And that is exactly why your videos are so effective and insightful. Thanks guys

[@BadmintonInsight]

Wow thank you so much Aisha, that means a lot 🤗

[@ltousch]

Guys, I love your content. At my very low level, all the advices you give resonate a lot to me. And since I'm watching your channel regularly and following most of your advices (well, the ones for beginners essentially), my game is improving so much. And I'm having more and more fun! So a big thank you for that.

[@BadmintonInsight]

That is amazing to hear, and it's why we continue to make these videos every week 🤗🏸

[@Imperfectrun]

Much agreed on the chasing glory part. I decided that the day I stop playing badminton is the day I stop smiling when playing badminton. I don't think I'll ever play badminton without a smile on my face though.

[@BadmintonInsight]

That’s a great view to have 😊👍🏼

[@SteveLinGuitar]

The concepts and values here apply 1000% to all other fields. As a professional musician, I spent many of my early years feeling the “suck” and doubling down on the fundamentals to improve my music game. As for badminton, it took me a while to find some friends at the badminton gym who wanted to drill instead of play. Now I have a small group of partners who look forward to our drills. And you can tell it’s slowly causing some others to be a little jealous-you can tell that they would like to drill as well. 😃

[@BadmintonInsight]

They sure do! Thanks for the great Insight Steve 😊 That’s great to hear, keep it up and no doubt you’ll keep improving 😀👏🏼🏸

How many players (especially still being active) able to use their own mistakes as negative examples? And show all their appreciations (not only respect) to their opponents? With your love an attitude to badminton, I have to say you two are the greatest players! I believe you two are getting into top 5 very soon, please keep up your positive energy, stay healthy and out of injuries! Looking forward to more of your great matches and the use your big wins to create many more great videos! Cheers!

I play on the Masters circuit in the UK. I've literally just come to the same conclusion about prioritising enjoying the game over chasing points/results, and I'm playing some of the best badminton of my life. Love this channel!!!

[@johnflavin1602]

Good point. I used to love playing when I first started but then as I found I wasn’t improving significantly I started to dislike playing.

Instead of VPN, the BWF could put up a subscription based site where there would be no geolocking, but people around the world could pay for something like 5-10 € per month to watch every game in the bigger tournaments. Everyone would win!

[@HelloAfrica2]

Hey there, thanx for this video. You really hit the nail on the head! I can clearly see myself in some of those mistakes. One thing that is ever so important to mention: Getting the basics right and moving from there gets you much further than practicing some fancy shots you never get to use anyways b/c you lack the aforementioned.

[@BadmintonInsight]

Your welcome Christian! That is definitely the case yeah 😀

[@Impulsage]

Thank you! Really needed a reminder to identify the things that make up most of the points. And to play less games, practice more :D

[@BadmintonInsight]

Haha hope it helps! Good luck 😀

[@TheHi-T]

Great advice! My serve is one of my strengths. I'm constantly practicing. If I don't it will become average. Serves help set-up winning rallies. When I was a beginner, coach encouraged us to play additional sports (soccer; track, or cross country running). Why? For conditioning, team work, communication, & to take a break from badminton. He probably knew none of us had enough natural talent to make the national badminton team. He was correct! 😏 As a singles player, who also ran track, it definitely helped with my endurance on the court. Badminton training was still the hardest. Now that I play MD & XD at social clubs it is so much fun to play 2 against 1 when my partners' strings snap or they run off court. They mistakenly think I'm tired. Let's just say the longer the rally, the more of an advantage I get (our skills are equal).

[@Crash10101010]

These tips came at such a good time! I'm joining a tournament on Oct. 22nd and preparing to try out for my university in May 2023, so I'll make sure to take note of these! Badminton Insight never fails to deliver. P.S. the cardboard Jenny cutout caught me off guard 😂😂😂

[@ariathyf144]

Watching my own games over the pros really helped me for your point 2. By comparing their techniques to mine I discovered what I had to unlearn and relearn in my weakest shots.. and its hard to break the decade old habits. I would say with only average club time (4-5hours per week) you can only improve few areas during the season so it is best to focus on them consistently. My biggest mistakes and the most time consuming ones was to play only matches during free time instead of doing some drills. Focusing on winning instead of LEARNING is an universal flaw, in badminton this learning is however still an enjoyable process. For a long time I did not progressed, not bc I couldn't learn, but bc I was distracted from my long term goal and once I realized that things changed quickly. (improving faster than my mates that they took notice).

[@Harshu-patel]

Thanks for all the videos. U just tell us about 1 point in full description so that we can learn easily Thanks for making efforts for us . My best wishes for both of u . Love from INDIA

I knew sleep was important but not THAT important. Only got 5 hours of sleep and noticed I was way winded playing doubles/singles against players that should've just been a warmup for me on a good day.

[@BadmintonInsight]

[@NishantGaba07]

4:48 straight up life advice!

[@redfox12341]

I think tactical plays is another often neglected aspect of the game. Simply playing certain shots in certain situations would win u many more points without needing technical improvement! It would also be great if you can put up more videos on tactics too :D

[@laktho]

Commentatoress Gillian put it quite right: Keep up your court awareness to know where to place you next shot - aggressive or defensive alike - and get you opponent moving as much as possible .. In pro-Sessions it's increases the chances of a mishit of your opponent In intermediate-sessions you can even score points Beeing the best table tennis player on a badminton court it makes my intermediate sessions pure fun for me :)

[@yoshi01_10]

great video! very true about the sleep part. i always play horribly when i do not get enough sleep. my legs always feel heavy and my shots are always sluggish on the days i don’t get sufficient sleep. thanks for the awesome content once again!

[@xyzcv5]

The first mistake I think can get so much more complicated. It's not just moving forward when people are forced to hit the shuttle from an awkward angle, but also about how players need to know how to position themselves according to the situation in general. For example, where to stand when the netshot was very tight or when it was not. It's certainly not something that can be squeezed into a 10 min video, but I feel like the first mistake should be less about 'not moving forward' and more about 'positioning appropriately according to how well the last shot was played'. I feel like once players understand this concept it's like an 'aha' moment and even if they don't have a 1 hour video to explain it to them, they will pay more attention to the positioning of the pro players when they watch them. I think this is a good video, but I'm also worried that some players could oversimplify things like how this video presents the first mistake. Afterall, many coaches still make new players train by making them move to all 4 corners and the players are expected to return to the base after every single shot, but In a game this is not really how people play badminton.
