Motivation in Badminton

Every Badminton player needs exposure to become a recognizable and establish player. The amount of exposure a player has can determine his/her performance in a game.

Players without much exposure will not be able to give their 100% in the game because they will not know the real conditions in a tournament.

With exposure, it will definitely reduce one's nervousness level in competitions. Once a player feels less nervous and more relax in tournaments, he or she will be more confident and less pressured to play and win the game. Being nervous is a natural thing for first time participants in tournaments. Badminton Players need some time and more exposure to make themselves comfortable in tournaments.

Players can also expand their creativity by gaining more exposure. Badminton is not just a physical demanding game it is also a mentally stressful game. A player would face tremendous pressure and needs to be mentally and physically tough in order to play a good game.

They will be able to make more creative shots and placements to pressure their opponent to win the game. This can be called playing a smart badminton game.

From exposure, players will be able to read opponents game more easily. From taking part in many tournaments, players will get the idea on how the opponents move and make shots.

It is important to expose players especially the younger ones in tournaments so that they will not repeat some silly mistakes in future tournaments.

Having exposure will lead players to be wiser and will help them to obtain the right training method in order to train smart for tournaments.
