Recently when we were in lockdown, I tried utilizing resources available in my apartment such as our badminton court. My dad is a regular there and he wanted me to accompany him to the court and play a couple of matches. Not having done any such rigorous physical activity, playing for 45 minutes was a challenge undertaken for me [LO2]. My dad taught me the technique of how to hold a racket to start with and how to position yourself. I picked up those skills but I can still improve on my serving skills as well as reaction time [LO1]. I am looking forward to playing more often with him during the December break. By working collaboratively with my dad I understood how badminton works as I have no experience in the sport and he has been playing from his years at University [LO5]. I also realised the importance of consistent physical activity because my energy levels were significantly lower than my dads and I could not keep up at times. Even though I dance and do yoga, I am missing out on the cardio element of my excersie routine and I am looking to bring that back.
