Today, we did almost the same physical exercises like Tuesday. I wasn't very tired after doing all these movements as i was the day before.After that, we did multiple, i have to pair up with someone to do the doubles multiple. I paired with Jun Hong. My smashing was not too bad as i can react in time to hit the shot in front of me. Our cordination was not good, this leads us not knowing who will take the shot next. When i am in front, i must not take the shot if it passes my shoulder. My tapping was better today as i managed to use my wrist to tap it down.

Coach was late today so we did footwork ourselves. Later, coach teamed me with Yi Hao to play against Kuan Ren and Ju Kai. We lost the first set as we did not cordinate well, eg. when Yi Hao lob i did not square, and when i smash from behind Yi Hao did not come in front to tap.In the second and third set, we finally did better by hitting more acurate shots, i was confident with my shots that i will be able to hit it, therefore the shots will go pass the net. In the end, we won the game.In this game, my tapping was not very good as i always tend to tap the shot out. Coach told me to use my wrist to tap it down, and not my whole arm.

We did lots of physical exercises today. I found out that my stamina was not high enough and i became tired easily. This was probably because i have negleted training my stamina by jogging outside my house. This has also affected my play during badminton as i cannot keep up for long.Coach was timing us for some physical activities. This was beneficial as we can set a goal and complete it faster the next time. Miss Tew then told us about achieving our goals. My goal is to do our very best in the upcoming tournament and make it the the semifinals.
