Consistency and Mentality...

Today's training was mainly abt this 2....actually it's not only used in training, but also during matches and gameplay....here is why i say this is so important...


As u can see...consistency is really important in every aspects...not only in badminton, but in other fields too...if u got consistency, u will have assurance of able to use that skill or ability well...THis was what happened today....when i was training with my coach, i was asked to do drops and nets, meanwhile he lift or net...so i did and its really hard to keep the rally up...somehow u have to really have a good mentality and consistency...(about mentality, i will speak later...)

After that, my coach told me this concept...when u perform a shot, u need to have the consistency...he told me,"when u got consistency, u will build up ur foundations, and eventually u will be good..."and then i listened to him and continued doing so...


Another thing is mentality, if u have mentality, u will have a slight edge against ur opponent !!! An example or situation during matches will be this...if u are playing against ur opponent, and its 3 sets, but u still can tahan...ur opponent will be like,"WHat the hell...not tired wan r???" instead u can still stand there firmly and strong...why?? This is because of ur mentality...with a good mentality, u will have an advantage...like ur tired, ur mind will tell u,"I can still play on..." this is one of the mentality...another is when u have ur mentality...eventually u will have psychological effects to ur opponent...means ur playing psychology with ur opponent...

During training today, when i was doing shuttle drill, i got SCREWED by my coach because i lacked of mentality....the tiredness took over my mind and i could not tell my body to stay on...thats why i have to force my mind to take over the body and continue to move on...

When u got a good mentality and consistency, u will be a very good player and a HARD-TO-BEAT player...
