Preseason Badminton was just the beginning of my journey in improving my skills in the sport. In this season, the training sessions are considerably more intense, and frequent, challenging me to work harder in order to extend my existing skills in badminton (LO#2). At first, I wasn’t very confident in myself as I didn’t really know the team members and the coaches very well, and at the time my skills were not polished enough for me to be a consistent player. Nonetheless, I tried my best in the tryouts to perform well, and to my surprise, I got the position as Singles 2 in the A team. Ultimately, that one case of success that I achieved is a product of my regular engagement (LO#4) in the training sessions and my willingness to sacrifice some time 3 days a week for an activity that is unrelated to academics. I fully appreciate my decision to pursue Badminton, and I feel very motivated to continue this path that I started.
