Life In Badminton..

 

You all have in mind a match where you dominated the first set easily and during which you suddenly got up in the second; the game tightens and your opponent gradually regains confidence, he fights a little more, regains confidence.

Until then you played easily, relaxed, fluid; your racket runs the game alone and controls your head. Everything happens, whatever you try, you are in mode "everything succeeds me", then suddenly you start thinking about the next point, you think back to the stupid mistake you just made, you already project yourself into your next match e again, you start straining and your game is getting worse.

The opponent wins 2 pts then 3 and finally back to the score, he starts to put pressure on you and for a moment, you lose your footing.

This difficulty to finish a match (ideally by winning) is not abnormal, so do not blame it because finishing the match is not easy. It is quite difficult to channel concentration, emotions when you have to finish a match and finish strong.

I will tell you an anecdote of a few weeks ago in tournament:

We were my partner and I seeded No. 1 in a doubles tournament. In Pool A with a priori 2 easy games to go out of pool. We start our first confident but determined match. The first set is quickly bent on the score of 21-8; A priori the adversaries could find no solution, all their trajectories were cut off, the ruffles intercepted, the defenses pierced. Our coach was serene behind us. The second set starts as the first, and we lead 11-3 at the break. As much to tell you that the coaching was rather relaxed.

From that moment everything went into a spin, we started to make improbable direct fouls, to put our opponents back into play who gradually regained confidence to end up losing the second set 20-22 with a huge frustration of our side. At that time everything went from our placement to the fact that we saw badly in the gym or driving that was flying too fast.

The third set was episodic, sometimes good and mostly not so good. We ended up bowing to over-motivated opponents 23-21 in the third set. And that by leaving 20cm ruffles of the field in release, or putting smatchs in the middle of the net.

You find it strange, but it probably has happened to you (or at least to someone around you), some people will tell you that you have psyched, that you cracked, or that you played small arms.

 

As a result the second pool match was a calamity so we were unmotivated and frustrated with our performance.
