Our friendly with Evergreen and Year End Retreat

Dear players,

Thank you for all the players who made the effort to attend the holiday training and friendly match with Evergreen that we have arranged for you on the 7th and 8th of Sept.

I really glad that all of you who have attended got to play at least one match.

I was actually a bit worried that some of you may not get the chance to play because we had to share with floor ball.

I hope all of you have enjoyed player with the badminton from Evergreen Secondary.

At the end of the day, we need to remind ourselves that we have arranged this friendly with Evergreen Secondary not to compete and see who is the better school because we already have a tournament for that, and it is called the zonal and nationals.

The purpose of this friendly match is to let you guys to gain more match experience, also to let you understand your play style more and your partner's play style more (for the doubles). Hopefully you guys are more aware of your own's strengths and weaknesses now and can focus on directing your effort into training at the areas you have identified.

For example,

I feel that I have difficulties lasting throughout a match if it drags. 

--> Focus training on stamina (running long distance).

I feel that I kept hitting out of bound, giving precious points to my opponent.

--> Focus training on accurcy (Hitting the shuttle to a target zone)

I feel that I am not able to re-position myself quick enough after returning my shots.

--> Focus training on speed (foot works, 5 shuttle pick!)

Be creative~! 

and Ultimately,
My wish is to let all of you realise that, we are in a competitive sports and by simply coming to training to play is not enough. Do not limit yourself to only the training that we have planned for you.
You will need to plan your time and set up a regular routine to train on your own to achieve that edge over the others school. If not, we are just going to get trashed in the tournament.
I hope that all of you will continue to train hard and even harder from now onward. (both in school and on your own).

You guys really need to learn to show your appreciation for her more.
