you wont find someone like me anym.

look, its tournament period.

and i hope everyone would keep him or herself, in good form.

because its a battle coming ahead.

and in good form means, you eat drink sleep well.

no dangerous sports like, wrestling, or any other form of ball games that is competitive.

from now on, this body is no longer yours.

you, your skills, and the jersey you have, represent your school.

so you cannot do anything to it, unless the school asks you to.

have you get me yet?!

NO SPORTS !

excluding PE.

and please rest when needed, and do stretching whenever you can.

drink plenty of water and eat alot of fruits.

updates on eastzone;

B boys,

Coral 4 : 1 Changkat Changi.

next match up against siglap tomorrow, follow by cchs on thurs.

the C girls will most likely be having training tomorrow.

heed my advice above, because we need everyone in their best form during this tournament.

this one tournament that we gave alot of attention to, as we practically train year long for it.

you seriously doesn't want to fall sick at this point.

okay, back to posting.

firstly, let us welcome our new sec1 batch, and that simply means the girls, you are seniors now.

please, by all means, show a good example of what the term senior means.

it means to be someone like kenny, get it already?

well, this three months that i returned back to training, i really had fun, and that to see how different you people are from the ones 3months ago is really gratifying.

you people had improved in all areas, not just skills.

and you guys should be proud of it, and showcase them all in the upcoming tournament.

tournament should not be fearsome, and apparently, it wasn't.

just do not be too stressed over the match, and relax whenever possible.

oh, and anyw, please do your homework.

not to say complete all, because you have no time, since you all spend 4 out of 7 days last week with badminton.

but please, at least try and do them.

remember you're at school to study, badminton's second.

i really hope we see some results at this tournament because everyone has been training hard for a year now.

and for the sec4s, it pretty much their last tournament doning in coral colours.

so definitely, we all want to show something, rather than coming back empty handed time and again.

seriously, even if its not for yourself, or for the school.

please do it for me.

because i see YOU ALL more than i see my own friends in my own personal holiday, and i didnt take a single cent.

and all i hope is something we can all be proud about.

C girls, the draws are hard, but everything is hard at first time, but at least you started and there's no going back.

you just have to play at your best and at least get to tell me, "kengtian, your three months of hardwork paid out, we played very well."

this is the minimum that i ask for, i seriously hope my time has been spent worthwhile.

lastly, everyone in this team has trained very hard, and you deserve applauses.

but its not the end, and i hope for the next couple of years, nobody gives up on this path and continue wearing that jersey.

I dont want to see someone's name disappearing from the sidebar because they chabok away.

okay:)

goodbye:D

take care people:D

\ seriously, no other seniors are that damn nice like me.

damnit.

slogan for the year:

PASSION TO PLAY, FURY TO WIN

GO CORAL!

Boo~ erm Me, yuting, si min, Alex and Mr Wai hong, went to the shop behind bedok sports hall to choose the jersey, hmm, I only managed to let u peep at 1 pic becx the other pics is nt with me, will up date the other pics soon. Enjoy 1 by 1.

2moro during trainning, u will be trying it just to get the size.

Each of the players will have to buy 2 jersey each.

This jersey represents our unity and u can keep for memory even after u leave coral. One day only this jersey will allow u to reflect on the days in trainning. I will tell u abt the subsidies given by the school soon. dn worry it wont be too expensive.

BE patient to await the other 3 other Jersey pic.

2 for the girls team. 2 for the guys.

HAAAA

Okay, GOODBYE:D

Kengtian,
your beloved penguin.

Words of wisdom:
Always warm up prior to play. It is important to stretch the muscles groups before intense play. Badminton involves alot of quick movements including lunging and stretching in many different directions. Injuries are more probable if athletes do not do proper warm ups.

2009-06-09T16:33:00.005+08:00

Yo! everybody! Kenny's here! Hu is he? hmmm dun care...just read!

Since I am here, of cox share some of my experiences...

I am nt that old hor just wan to share something la..

As I can see and read... mostly is skills leh...and the video

language quite hard to understand...hmmm...how I noe??

of cox, I dun understand also see leh! U all also must see carefully!

But so wad if u noe all the skills? Its the attitude, character and

personality that counts. Seemed like I like very gd like that?

Therefore I shld talk abt my failures.zzz I failed to accept advice.

I failed to accept failures. I failed to change my misconception.

But of cox I fail most badly is that, I noe I had failed yet failed to

change... but of cox, I might had wanted too much from myself

to the extend that I lost more than I gain. sry...abit too long winded...

I shall go straight into the point:Listen to any1 that gives gd advice,

even if u think it is wrong, u hav to accept it. You might 1 to ask.

Coach said, just do it, dun doubt it. (translated), but I still feel that

1 shld understand why he must do so, then he can understand and

accept how he shld be doing it rite.

2ndly, dun be discouraged, when u lost, becox failure is only when u

lost to urself. Challenge urself to win him soon. It better be soon. BECOX

THE TRIAL IS NEXT WEEK!!! Haven try yet, dunno hu still the best dun

giv up yet!! Saying this becox I also quite scared la...

3rdly, must gt patient, tolerance and endurance. Tolerate unfairness

like dunno in or out... dunno short or in...etc...must tolerate!! Endure

thru the match! dun giv up even when points is like quite far apart,

becox it is nt the end yet!!

4thly, confidence and determination. We say confidence if self gained.

However, it is very easy to be drained. Just 1 insult sarcasm comment

or condemn critism, confidence all gone... This might nt be for all people,

but for benefits of those hu might be like that, advice u to care less abt

this kind of _ _ _ _ _ _ s. *Believe in urself. Becox, if u dun hav confidence

how can people hav confidence in u??? Although for me is..I nit people to

hav confidence in me, then in my heart, I hav the confidence nt shown

out at all... nt that gd...

Last but nt least is respect. Uncle stanley emphasised most on this.

hahahas...I gt diff. version. 2.0.. I think respect urself 1st, if nt

dun talk abt respecting others. Respect urself, mind ur own actions

and words. Responsibility...responsible for one's words and actions...

OMG... erm...I talked too much, most of the "nonsense" is adapted

from other people la...they say de is *nt nonsense* la..but after

converting to mine version, it is nonsense...nonsense that hopefully

be beneficial... oh well~

Special thanks for all bad comments.

Signing off.
Kenny Tan Always.
To Keng tian: lets just stop playing with fire.

2009-06-05T21:17:00.002+08:00

HELLLOOOO.
Just a reminder to all.
Please attend badminton training, best, every training.
Please attend unless with a valid reason okay.
HEHE. I'm gonna post about what happen during training today.
Dont know can a not. If cannot thn senior just tell me thn i delete this post.
Today uh. Nothing really special happen. haha.
We did running(as usual).
We did lifting.
We also did skipping.
EVERY SEC 1 MEMBER MUST BRING A SKIPPING ROPE FOR NEXT TRAINING.
IF NOT. U WILL HAVE TO BUY ONE FROM COACH WHICH COSTS 20 SING DOLLARS.
And, NOBODY is allowed to be late.
Anybody late by a minute, 10 push-up.
Today, two guys did 40 and one guy did 90.
It's not a very good experience uh? hehe.
Nothing more to update.

2009-06-04T14:15:00.005+08:00

Here are some basics i think some of you people should learn more
kindly watch and not listen, unless you know korean.
HAHAHAHAHA!
--------------------------------------

For everyone,
as you know, stretching is important in all sports.
All atheletes should know stretching.
But most of you dont know the basic stretches before you start the training going.
that's why you get injuries, aching all over.
this video will teach you how to stretch, kindly watch

Lesson 1: Stretching

Many of you, dont even hold the correct grip.
unless you do it the corect way, you will find out, you cant hit certain shots, and not being as powerful, as accurate as others.

Lesson 2: Grips

Some people still dont have their correct swing, here is it;
simple as that.

Lesson 3: Forehand and Backhand Swing

----------------------------------------

here is it; the advanced part

Lesson 4: Smash

-------------------

NOW, Its Footwork.
its totally vital and important that you get it right,
it must come naturally while playing, so that your movement wil be smooth, swift, fast.

Lesson 5: Backcourt Footwork

Lesson 6: Frontcourt Footwork

---------------------

Lesson 7: Underhand Swing.

---------------------

Advanced:

Pushing is very important (especially in doubles play), this is when the return is very fast, and you use it well to force your opponent to make a mistake, or so you can make a kill after.
Pushing can be used from the back of the court, to push your way into the middle, and slowly to the front, and then you can make some killer shots.
/this video is only about at the front of the net.

Lesson 8: Pushing

---------------------------

Trick shots:

this is only available to the sec2 and sec3 peoples.
you must have the basics before learning it.
Or you wil spoil your basics learning, and ruin your career.
------------------------

OKAY, i was hoping this videos will help.
you guys can go youtube and look at professional play.
and learn their tactics, footwork, movement, and even tricks.
it will be beneficial, and its always easier to look to learn than listening to learn.

any comments on the videos?

Thanks:D

2009-05-12T20:32:00.000+08:00

EH GUYS

WHY never update derh?

lame siia

so dead lor...

come'on

get the password from me larh!

i go liao, still need service for you all:(

OKOK...

update pls,

and i m gone!

here is some tips in doubles for you guys
:

TIP 18.0

When playing doubles, expect to participate in rotation throughout the rally. Avoid playing sides. In any given rally, an athlete may be on a side, at the net, or at the baseline.

TIP 17.0
When your opponent comes in towards the net to return your drop, make sure you are there. Keep your racquet up and make a quick, over-bearing lunge(maybe like a smash attempt) towards the anticipated return direction of the bird(you need to come in anyway in case they may do a drop return). Your opponents' peripheral vision will pick up your aggressive movement, and this could affect the quality of their return as part of their mind is distracted by this looming figure rushing into the net.

TIP 16.0
If you are at the net playing doubles, try to duck low if you want your partner in the back to take an oncoming shot. This also gives greater visibility to your partner when they hit the shuttle.

TIP 15.0
Smashing down the center of the court, or dropping at the "T" is the safest and most effective attack(also can aim for their body). Advantages:
keeps your partner at the net in the game, as the returns should come straight up the middle
your partner can cover most of the front court equally and with one step
the opponents can collide due to both going for the bird, or miss if neither go for it
the bird can never go out wide, only out length ways
it is harder for the opponent to do an effective cross court return
in more advance strategies, the attackers can channel attack*
(*Channel Attack: Your partner at the net moves slightly over one side of the court to which the two of you focus your smashing and attacking on one opponent)

TIP 14.0
At your service, consider where your opponent is standing. If they are too close, flick serve. Try to serve to the "T"(at their body) most times; however, if they are close to the "T" serve to the opposite side. Use all four corners of the service box to your advantage, and to keep them off guard.

TIP 13.0
When serving, consider your opponents' physical characteristics. Flick long high serves to much shorter players, as they may be able to punch short serves easier. Taller players can cut off high serves easier and quicker(they have longer legs), and they have more difficulty with tighter short serves(more effort to stay low).

TIP 12.0
Singles is essentially a game of chess. He who lasts longest is the victor.

TIP 11.0
If you notice that your opponent is weakening or missing some shots. Do not give them any extra time to regroup.You can do this by getting to the serve line faster, and pick up the pace of the game. Try not to give them water breaks, or change the bird.

TIP 10.0
Watch your opponent play in matches prior to yours. Look for any advantages.

TIP 9.0
Watch out for south-paws. Sometimes we forget there are left handed players.
TIP 8.0
Always communicate positively with your partner(verbally and via body-language). Think positively within yourself as well. If you or your partner miss, say "Good try", or "It's ok". When you or your partner do well, give praise. Research has given proven links between thinking and doing.

TIP 7.0
Use the 80/20 rule in your badminton play. 80% of the time are staple shots(ie short serve, smashing, pushes, drops, lobs, attacking clears. 20% of the time are flick/long serves, clears, lifts, trick shots, low percentage shots, and all non-attacking shots. Of course, sometimes rules are meant to be broken...improvise.

TIP 6.0
Players must be able to full court clear from any part of the court. The only exception is concerning appropriate developmental expectations at the younger age levels(under age 12).

TIP 5.0
The single most important shot in doubles is the serve. Nail it. The next two most important are the serve-return, and the serve-return-return(first three hits in a rally). All else is secondary...

TIP 4.0
Always remain calm and poised. Your negative behavior can influence your partners' badminton play, and can give fuel to your opponents' confidence.

TIP 3.0
Deliberately serve a bit short to players who love to rush your short serve. They end up having little time to decide if they want to return your serve.

TIP 2.0
Dress according to you game plan. If you want to intimidate your opponents, then wear all the badminton gear (shoes, shorts, shirts, socks, wristband...). If you want your opponents to under-estimate your abilities, then wear whatever.

TIP 1.0
Vary your hold time on your serve. This can confuse your opponent. You have 5 seconds to serve, so use them...

OKOK...HAHAS!
BYEBYE!
