Badminton is a racquet sport in which players hit a shuttlecock across a net with racquets. The most common forms of the game are “singles” and “doubles,” though it can be played with larger teams. I decided to take badminton lessons as part of my CAS project and learning course. I began with a four-month badminton course, during which I learned new skills and improved my technique.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before I started classes, I had a basic understanding of the sport’s rules, which helped me progress more quickly and compete with other students in my class. I consider myself to be a quick learner, so staying on the same page with others was extremely beneficial. The class was only 2 minutes away from my house, which was a big plus in terms of convenience. I was shy at first because I didn’t know anyone in the class, but I eventually got along and made friends with whom I could interact.I realized I had very little experience and knowledge of playing professionally, so I decided to devote more time to drills to improve my skills. I overcame this shortcoming by practicing the drills whenever I had free time at home or during class.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sprained ankles and wrists were probably the most difficult challenge I faced. I got some sprains as a result of a lot of practice, which my coach said was normal. As a result, I had to miss some classes in order to avoid further injury. Before joining the class, I had played badminton several times but never to this extent. I overcame this obstacle by resting and doing less strenuous drills at home. I had trouble learning to play Smash because it was new to me, but with daily practice, I was able to improve.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commitment and endurance were demonstrated as I attended the classes 6 days a week and could see my skills evolve and new game tactics were created. I was able to increase my speed, stamina, and gaming skills by demonstrating such dedication. Because I could see the impact, I felt that all of the time spent was worthwhile. It was critical that I practice shot and smash shots on a regular basis in order to maintain my learning.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was initially timid because I was an unknown to everyone, but as I became more active in class, I made some new friends with whom I played matches. Collaborative work was a challenge when doubles matches were played. During the game, the partners must maintain shifting training and trust each other. The very experience has improved my team leadership skills.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The overall experience of badminton was incredible, thrilling, exciting, educational, and enjoyable. I realized I can use my sportsmanship skills in a variety of scenarios and interactions. I’ve learned a lot of drills that have helped me improve my playing style and reinforce this sport.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
