Ron’s Answer

You continue to do exactly what you have been doing since 9 years old. Continue to play the game but look up different camps and different opportunities with trainers to be the best you can . Playing for your country is awesome, that also means you have to be the best in the country so train hard. Your country should have a tryouts for that particular sport. When it comes, it is your job to be as ready for the competition as you can be.Good luck!

Hi Aishath, 

Badminton is a great game. My favourite player was Lin Dan. This is the right age when you should target your goals in becoming a good player.

You can go ahead reading about some of the best badminton players in the world and how they train themselves. 

This will give you some help in becoming a good/better player. You need to train hard for such games, as they require strength and agility.


Getting in touch with a good coach/mentor is utmost important if you really want to excel. Coach can always suggest/advice you the changes that you need to bring in your way of playing to become better and better. As they will analyse the way you play and note the mistakes that you make on court during matches. They will also suggest you the tournaments you should go for, which in turn will help you to get success. In order to play for the country you need to prove yourself at different levels, specially at national level.

Thank You

Ashwin’s Answer

Finding the right coach is going to be critical for you at this young age. Having a good understanding of your own body and health is also critical - so get a good personal trainer or nutritionist (there are steps you can take on your own if you are not able to find/afford a good trainer/nutritionist). Last but not the least..
Never forget why you started playing the game. It is for the love of the sport that billions of people follow the few professional players with so much passion. Always keep that in mind. The joy you got when you picked up the racquet to play with friends - play with the same passion at all the levels.
