How to be a Professional badminton player-2(Fluid Moment)

Fluid movement consists of good footwork, sharp reflexes and good anticipation. It is this combination that produces quick movements and sharp smashes executed in an effortless way that are simply fascinating and deadly enough to score loads of points.These three aspects of fluid movements form the foundation of a professional badminton player.
*Good Footwork-Having good footwork Means reaching the shuttle early.In Badminton, you do not run. This could be a deceiving statement since badminton is considered the fastest racket sports.Footwork consists skip, shuffle, bounce, glide, chasse step or combination of these steps.Having solid footwork would easily take you towards any direction on court in 2 steps. You don't have to fumble all over the court.
How To improve-
*Skip for at least 10 minutes a day.(quickest way to develop agility)
*Watch recordings of professional players and study and emulate their footwork.
*Practice shadow badminton exercises so you can move based on instinct.
*Place shuttlecocks on their sides at each corner of the court . Then, move as quickly as possible.
*Come in heel first on your racket foot when lunging forward to the net.

*Move back fast on your first step after your lunge, but slow down on your final step.

*Play half-court singles.

*Practice hard and play hard. You will improve.

* Sharp Reflexes-Sharp reflexes can be defined as a reaction of the body that is produced automatically and instinctively in response to a stimulus. For example, when you put your finger on the hot kettle, your finger will automatically withdraw from the kettle quickly due to natural reflex. In badminton,sharp reflexes are needed in order to move quickly.
How To improve-
*Overspeed Training
*Improving Voluntary Quickness
*Take gymnastics
*Keep in shape; retain your skills
*Find Reaction Games Online(You can find them www.missionred.com)
*Practice, practice, practice. This will take time, but you should notice improvements.

* Good Anticipation- Anticipation is the ability to sense what is happening in a split second before others can and to react quickly. By reacting earlier, one gains a decisive advantage.In order to have good anticipation in Badminton, experience is the key. You can develop anticipation when you have mastered the skills to play the game.
How To improve-
*Experience

How to be a Professional badminton player-1(Fitness)

Fitness-It is said that "The better you want to be the fitter you need to be".Professional players have an extra ordinary fitness level.The first step of badminton player is to be excellent in  three aspects-



Strength:-Strength can be defined as your ability to produce a force that is generated from directing your body as well as the racket head towards hitting the shuttlecock. The power of the shots depends on muscle efficiency.The most efficient way to improve strength is to do weight Training.I have described about the weight training exercises in my another post.The training to build the strength for badminton should not be geared too much towards body building. A too muscular body can cause stiffness which limits the range of your body movements in the game.If you want to make progress, you must always try and increase the resistance you're using. To improve, you need to continually increase either the weight you are lifting, or the number of repetitions you perform with a certain weight.f you always train using 6-8 repetitions, try 8-12 repetitions, or even higher (20 or more). This is a great way to "shake up" your training and force your muscles to adapt in a different way.
*Change your routine every 3-4 weeks. Even if it's just using dumbbells instead of barbells.
Exercises-resistant sidestepping, crouching medicine ball jumps , medicine ball lunges pull-ups push-ups


 

Speed:-The definition of speed is the ability to move your whole body from one place to another in the shortest possible time. In all the sports, athletes need speed to be faster than their opponent to win the game.
Sprinting is the best method to improve speed. Nowadays, speed plays a major role to win the game especially in the 21 points rally system. Gaining speed is vital in becoming a victorious player.
*To build speed, you have to build up endurance first. There is no speed without endurance.
*Step one to building up speed is to start running up hills.
*speed play, is variable-pace running that emphasizes creativity. During a 30-minute run, choose objects to run to telephone poles, trees, buildings, other runners, whatever.
* On a track, run quickly for about 15 seconds every time you start a straightaway, then ease off and jog the rest of the straightaway and the turn before beginning another 15-second stride.

*Take part in races.





Stamina:-Stamina is the ability to sustain a high level of performance over a long period of time. To achieve it, it requires discipline and consistency in training.Jogging and endurance training increases our stamina.
We should have the stamina that insists your opponent to play risky or wrong shot in lack of stamina..

*Weight training
*Running Briskly
*Swimming
*Trekking
*Yoga
*Endurance Training

Smash

By www.pradeepsheoran.blogspot.com
Today i am telling you about badminton smash.Smash is various types like forehand smash,backhand smash,jump smash,down the line smash etc.A smash is the most power shot played in the badminton,it can be played at the speed up to 400km/h..Just imagine if you smash at 400km/h in your opponent court,will he able to return it,on my view absolutely not,so how to smash-

1.Position-You need to get your feet in proper position
.This means move your feet fast, it’s vital that you get in to the best position possible before you attempt to hit the shot, so this means getting those feet moving quickly which you can most easily do by staying on the balls of your feet when the shuttle is in play, NOT on your heels.Use a wide sideways stance with the rear foot parallel to the back line.


2.Shoulders-Position your shoulders and arms correctly
 As you’re moving your feet in to position you also need to begin setting your shoulders in readiness to hit the shot.You do this by raising your Non racket arm towards the shuttle and dropping your racket shoulder a little to create a position with the shoulders and elbows in a line looking over the front arm.Your racket arm should be bent at the elbow with your wrist cocked.


3.Weight- Transfer your weight on to your back leg
 Pushing off the back foot and twisting your body towards your opponent, straightening your knees at the same time. Your hips should move before shoulders, not after.Reach the shuttle at highest point as you can reach.

Basic Precautions-

*Relax your grip on racket before contact to shuttle,because it's hard to flick your wrist fast if your forearm is tense.

*Land with a wide legs, placing the non racket foot down and then the racket foot in quick succession.
