The perfect age to start Badmintion

There is quote says " if there's is a will then there's a way". Indeed if the will constitutes continuous hard effort and determination, the way to reach that desire goal can be achieve. In relating this to Badminton, if you train very hard continuously every day, every week with high level of self discipline and determination, no doubt you can improve the way you play and upgrade yourself to become a much better player.

One must understand that learning badminton, similarly like learning other sports has its own learning curvature. You don't simply be a National level player out of nowhere at Day 1 playing badminton because to be at such level, the learning curvature need to start somewhere first before progressing into such level of performance. The outcome for such performance also involves other important factors such as your physicality hence influences your fitness. That's why the younger you start  but due to the fact that the room for technique improvements fusing together with the improvements of physicality is a lot, therefore if the player train very hard earlier e.g 7 +, the chance to reach its peak performance earlier e.g 17 + thus representing the national level is very high.

One must understand also, there is some level of process involved to be at such level and like in Malaysia, you start competing at a district level to represent your district first and then while representing your district, you need to compete at the state level to represent your state. While playing for your state, you then again compete at the national level to be a National player. Even you are born to be so talented in badminton but you're not exposed to such level of competition, then no badminton association will know you and its impossible to be a National player.


Therefore even though age doesn't matters,your efforts and self discipline matter, if your correlate the above fact with your aim to be a World Champion, unless at  age you are now currently among the best players in this World, then its unlikely you can achieve it. Nevermine, you don't need to be a World Champion unless at this present point of time you can beat LCW, LD etc, at your current productive age, you still can train very hard and try to achieve something with badminton regardless at what level of competition.

 So the conclusion is this you can should start at 7+ but if you have strong will power you can start at 17+ too
but you have to work hard day and night.It's will be "do and die" situation  for you at 17.
