physical activity-badminton

I like sports, sports is very good at our health, my favorite sport is badminton.
I am not a member of badminton club, but I often play badminton with badminton club.

Badminton is a good sport. There are numerous benefits of playing badminton. One is obviously the health benefits. Badminton keeps you fit and is good cardio vascular exercise. It trains the body for endurance. It is not only a physical game but it also a mental game. Another important one is the hand eye co-ordination that you build using it and the numerous positions that you have to twist into build a strong spine.

I always play badminton with badminton club. I also joined the badminton match. In the badminton match, I play with Mrs. Chu. I think Mrs. Chu is better than me. Although she is not very tall, not very strong, she is very good at sports. At the beginning, In my eyes it is the much better that wins out. But later, Mrs. Chu is better than me, I chances of victory are very faint now. So at last Mrs. Chu win the badminton match in our group. I feel not very happy, but I believe I can play better than the badminton match.

The advantage of badminton:
1. Playing badminton keeps you feeling well, strong, motivated, enthusiastic and young. It helps to ward off depression, anxiety, stress and increase self-esteem. It also helps in enjoying a better sleep in the night, thereby minimizing the incidence of pre-existing illnesses getting aggravated due to lack of sleep.

2. Moreover, the existing fat deposits are also mobilized to produce energy while playing badminton. But for achieving optimal weight loss, it has to be combined with diet modification as well.

In the badminton club, I learned a lot of things, for example: in badminton match, have women’s doubles or men's doubles. It is very important to cooperate; I learned lot about the importance of teamwork. In modern society, teamwork becomes basic equipment for our survival in society .We should train our ability to cooperate with others, especially in the ball team, the importance of teamwork is more obvious, everyone has his or her strong points and weak points, and it can’t be a strong team without teamwork. By cooperation and teamwork, each individual can choose the task for which he is most capable. In this way, the team can become more and stronger

I think that to be a good badminton player there a few main points:

1. Footwork- This is extremely important. Your footwork round court is crucial. You must be able to get round the court, quickly and efficiently while still maintaining good balance.

2. Stamina- You must have a very good stamina in order to keep going through tough long rallies.

3. Strokes and shots- These are of course vital in being a good player. You must have good technique in all your shots.

4. Leg strength- You must have strong legs, especially calf muscles in order to push of and get around the court quickly. Nowadays many badminton players are starting to skip in order to build the leg muscles. All of the Yorkshire squad has been told to start skipping regularly.

5. Mental strength- This is extremely important in all games. You must keep going in tough matches, not get down when you make a mistake and not relax if you think you’re winning easily. If you don’t have good mental strength you can’t go far in badminton.

6. Attitude- Finally you need a good attitude. You must be willing to work hard and enjoy everything.
