help a fella out
hey im meeting my bfs family for the first time over a game of badminton for reference i dont know what im doing at all whatsoever i last played as a kid like over a decade ago, i can tell you what a shuttlecock is but thats it. i am essentially fucked, im not a natural athlete, the extent of my athletic abilities is monotonous cardio. i can barely throw and catch do you see where im going with this. i need advice, if not on badminton itself then on how to fail gracefully and make them not think im idiot scum that isn’t good enough for my boyfriend
