Getting back into badminton after 7 years
Getting back into badminton after 7 years
I’m 20 and used to play badminton for around 8 years, but then I stopped for 7 years. Now I’m in university and have started playing again.
At my university, there are around 20–30 students, 3 courts, and only doubles. We only get around 2.5 hours of playing time.
I’ve played for 2 days so far, and I’m struggling with something I didn’t expect. Sometimes the shuttle doesn’t even connect properly with my racket. I know exactly which shot I want to play in my mind, but when I try to execute it, the shot doesn’t come out the way I want.
Also, after playing, my right hand, body, right leg and glutes feel very stretched/sore, probably because I haven’t played for 7 years.
Did I need to take rest after 2 3 days of playing.What should I do to get my timing, coordination and overall badminton form back?
