I have always been interested in badminton and have been playing the sport for a long time now, especially in PS. Throughout my journey in badminton I’ve not only developed my gameplay but also improved on skills like sportsmanship, persistence and discipline.

LO1: Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth
In the entire year I recognized many areas in which I was doing good and also identified areas of improvement such as improving on certain shots and court movement. I willingly chose to work on those specific areas more even while playing the matches, I intended to focus on my foot work and played the shots I found difficulty in, in order to improve.

LO2: Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process
I took part in several badminton competitions outside of PS and also willed to compete with stronger opponents in order to improve my endurance and skills during the rally. Also, in order to develop my endurance, I took challenges which involved running for a longer period of time and truthfully completed all the drills assigned to me.

LO4: Show commitment and perseverance in CAS experiences
Regular practice and consistent effort were crucial in building skills and endurance. I made sure to not skip my PS classes without any genuine reason so that I could focus on my skill development. This practice of mine led me in bettering my badminton game and skills.
