I'm Pia Janzel F. Tovera and I want to share with you my journey in playing badminton and my personal techniques.

Since I was grade 4, I'm already an athlete in our school, our coach see that I have the potential in playing this kind of sport.

Badminton is my favorite sport because playing it makes me stay active throughout the day. Playing badminton requires speed, strength, and precision. It is a good player one needs to practice frequently. When I play the game with my friends, I feel energetic throughout the day. Playing badminton feeds my body with the much-needed energy to help me go through each day.

My Aunt was a Professional badminton player, and she kept on encouraging me to join her during her practice sessions. She influenced my attitude toward playing badminton. I learned most of the skills by observing my aunt play in most professional tournaments where she usually emerges as the winner. I also developed an interest in playing badminton because after playing me feel relaxed getting Rid of all the stress.

When I feel low, I prefer playing badminton instead of going shopping or playing computer games. Playing badminton often reminds me of how my father taught me some simple technique of defending myself from bullies.

I play badminton during my free time because this is the opportunity I have to bond with my friends and family. My friends and I have played in several competitions, like intramurals, district meet. Since grade 4, I was the champion in intramurals and district meet. The most interesting thing about playing badminton is that the more you play, the more you feel challenged by your opponent.

BADMINTON                                                     

Badminton is a racket sport played by either two opposing players (singles) or two opposing pairs (doubles), who take positions on opposite halves of rectangular court that is divided by a net. Playing badminton is easy all you need is two rackets and shuttlecock. The rackets for playing are light, the racket weigh about 90 grams. 

The shuttlecock (or shuttle) is a feathered projectile whose unique aerodynamic properties cause it to fly differtly the balls used in most racket sports, in particular, the feathers create much higher drag, causing the shuttlecock to decelerate more rapidly than a ball. When playing, you need to smash the light shuttlecock towards the opponents direction. Players need a lot of energy to ensure that the shuttlecock crosses over the net towards the opposite direction.

HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF A BADMINTON

Badminton was known in ancient times, an early form of the sport was played in ancient Greece. In the west, badminton came from a game called BATTLEDORE and SHUTTLECOCK, in which two or more players keep a feathered shuttlecock in the air with small rackets. The game was called a "POONA" in India during the 18th century, and British Army officers stationed there took a competitive Indian version back to England in the 1860's where it was played at country houses as an upper class amusement.
