Well its Easter weekend and most people are enjoying the holiday. However in badminton there are no holidays…at least not for me:) So I have been training quite hard this week and through the weekend. Unfortunatly I pulled a muscle during my match last week in Finland and have been forced to do much lower intensity stuff. But no matter what the circumstance you can always improve on something! So I have been working on my backhand net technique along with trying to improve my attacks from the backline. My off court stuff has been mainly squats and long slow bike sessions. I plan on doing some more weights and a bike ride today and tomorrow will be a very intense interval training on the treadmill. If there is one thing I can recomend in anyones training is variety. The more variety you can do the better it is for your improvement and for your mental health:)
My goal is to prepare for the Canadian International coming up in a few weeks. There will be some tough guys to beat there, such as, Lee Tsuen Seng (Malaysia), Rajiv Ouseph (England),Carl Baxter (England),Brice Leverdez (France),Kevin Cordon (Guatemala) and of course some home grown boys like Andrew Dabeka, David Snider, Joseph Rogers and myself of course:)
Hope you all rest well, party well and eat as much chocolat eggs as your hearts desire!
