Training!!!

the rackets I use; Protech Absolute 180(left) and Yonex Muscle Power 22(right)

today.. I was to decide wether I should attend training today or not.. at 1st I decided not to but finally.. I GO! haha.. for me.. today's training was so tiring coz there were only 3 players including me who attended today's training session. I was surprised that the training today didn't affect my painful knee at all and I'm able to move fast but a bit sloppy coz I've skipped a few training sessions already.

anyway.. training starts with shuttle drills. oh gosh.. it that was so tiring (I'm not fit enough). each player have to attack the shuttle for 10 sets of 20 shuttles >.<" but still I need to go through this if I want to improve myself

 

Shuttle drill by coach Tan Chew Kiat

after that I did the defence + netting training for 5 sets of 10 shuttles and lastly defensive training for 10 minutes in an exhausted state.. still managed to survive though.. after that I had a match with my coach on "net battle".. I tried my best to beat his netting but still losing 12-21 to my coach.. as a result I was forced to do 4 physical exercises with each doin 3 sets (1 set = 50 times) xD.. I did finish them all in time before my dad came to fetch me.

and so.. I got a lot to improve especially in netting and fitness.. I noticed my power has increased from the attacking shuttle drill today.. JIA YOU! I'LL DO MY BEST!

hahaha.. my friend tired already :P

ok anyways... has anybody ever heard of a manga called "Smash!"? it's actually a badminton manga about two childhood friends namely Shouta(male, main character) and Miwa (girl) who both shares interests in badminton. Miwa tries to persuade Shouta into joining her in the same badminton school that has made Shouta wanted to play badminton more seriously! genre for this manga is romance, comedy, shounen, and sports of course. anybody interested in reading this manga please go to http://www.onemanga.com/Smash/

 

the comic currently has 53 episodes to date (as of 16 June 2010) and is still on going. I recommend badminton lovers to read this manga^^

now, back to myself.. this 2-week holidays are being boring.. especially this final week! I'm really surprised that today is already wednesday! o_O" and I've suffered a pain on my right knee since last saturday badminton game with my family when I do a diving move to save the shuttle and knocked my right knee on the pavement.. ouch.. luckily it's less of a pain right now I'm still able to play well but I think I won't be going training for now..
