Many who have given me tips, hints and advice
I'm greatful for all the experiences
I am want to share so that you can benefit right now
Many of these points only became apparent through my struggles when trying to help players and after I’d spoken with other coaches.
I was in need of some effective badminton coaching advice.
There are lots to try out and consider. Some apply to beginners, others to coaching individuals or group sessions.
There are also ones that may change your coaching philosophy.
I hope that some challenge your thinking as they did mine when I first heard them!
I guarantee that they all work
I hope that they will give you a fresh outlook on coaching
What will you find
The simple, actionable advice
You may think that much of the information is very obvious to you.
It certainly does to me now, but it didn’t at the start of my coaching journey. It’s taken me over 30 years of coaching and working with some great coaches to compile this list.
So, a big thanks to all of them who have influenced me.
Their badminton coaching advice has made a huge difference to how I think about the things I do.
These things weren’t obvious to me when I started
despite attending lots of Coach Education courses
The origins of the list
I’ve sat down and emptied my mind
I tried to remember all the things that I wished I’d known when I first started coaching.
Many of these points came from direct instructions, often from my mentor Roger Mills.
Others come from my observations while working with other coaches. Then there are the points that only became apparent through my struggles when trying to help players.
Unlike my other posts, these posts will not go into great depth, just state what advice I was given or observed.
Many of these tips weren’t in the coach education course I took
In fact, I think many still aren’t
My promise to you
By following these suggestions, I guarantee that your coaching will become more efficient.
Your players will develop faster, become error-proofed, find learning new skills easier and love the journey with you. My aim is to bring you effective badminton coaching advice.
I wish I’d known these things at the start of my journey.
Of course, you may have your own thoughts and disagree with my ideas. I want to hear from you.
