This morning the IBA was invited to train with the Korean Junior team in Karlslunde,Denmark. There were 16 young Koreans (8 boys and 8 girls). I was able to play against two of their top juniors. I have a great respect for the way Koreans play badminton. Very disciplined in their technique and training. They play very patiently and wait for their openings. They hit the shuttle very clean and are fearsome when it comes to their flat play. I won both of my matches and enjoyed being able to play against different styles. On one hand its nice to play against patient players since they won’t blow you away in the first 3 shots. However along with their patience comes great quality and eventualy that is how they win their points. In my matches today I proved to be more patient with higher quality:) Lets wait and see when they get older!
