This week Badminton tournament

Well, it's been a long time for me to play in the tournament. One of the big difference with the previous tournaments is that I always play Men Double with Stephanus, he's a very strong guy in the back. Usually, I just play in front of the net and make the kills or setting up for smash and Stephanus is the one who make the smash to kill it or make it half court return so I can kill it. That's the way we play and we're surely will lose if we change positions ( me in the back and he's in the front). We never win but we always learn something from every tournaments we play together. Start from getting rid of our nervousness, better combination, control of emotion, change of tactics and also understand each other better. This time I'll play with Handoko and it means a big change for me, I'll be no longer play only in the front and I have to make early kill in the match since it'll be hard for us to win if it's goes to rally. The key point is to find out other player weakness and keep attacking it so they can't resist it. It's easy to say if you're outside of the court and watching people play. But inside the court if you're playing, it's totally different. The only skill I've been practicing lately is to make my smash more accurate by aiming the line on the side since my smash is really2 weak. It has been goes really well so far, it just I need more consistency and better understanding of my partner. Well, I don't have any target so it'll be good for me since I'll play without any worries.
