Life is short.

A badminton career is even shorter.

Your time to reach your highest potential is even shorter than that.

In this episode of Badminton Science, we talk about why waiting is the most expensive mistake athletes and coaches make, and why “doing it right” does not mean waiting for perfect conditions, perfect plans, or the right people to show up.

We break down:

• Why development windows in badminton close faster than you think
• How “waiting” quietly costs seasons of progress
• The difference between doing things perfectly vs. doing things decisively
• Why action creates clarity, momentum, and better support over time
• How to take responsibility for your career. Starting now

This episode is a direct message to athletes and coaches who know they should be doing more, but keep postponing the obvious next step.

Because time will move forward whether you act or not.

And in badminton, hesitation has a cost.

Do. It. Right.

In this episode you will learn about the power of journaling as a habit and my own free tool to get better at it. If you don't want another app, just write the questions down and write on a paper (don't tell this to my business manager). We all want to have the best physical training program in the world, yet we lose matches because of focus (lack of focus) or other. We don't improve as we should because we don't reflect over our sessions as we should.

Physical standards for badminton are what I call "bare minimun requirements" in order to perform and play at some level without risking injury and still perform. In this episode I talk about mobility, strength, explosiveness/power and conditioning in regards to badminton physical standards. In the following episodes I will dive a bit deeper in each subject and give you even more standards and tests to help you figure out your own strengths and weaknesses as well as how to train to improve each physical quality.

Sport-specific endurance is a hard topic do discuss and to understand. Especially when we think about endurance and see a marathon-runner or a tour-de-france athlete. Endurance is more than just those sports. How do the pros keep the same tempo and intensity for an entire match? How do they not lose explosiveness during the last set of the last match of a tournament? Well, that´s because they have badminton-specific endurance. In this podcast I go over how to build endurance for badminton players and how to train for different types of endurance as well. We´ll be talking about on-court as well as off-court stuff.

In this episode of Badminton Science, we dive into what the world of badminton can learn from two of the most professionally developed sports on the planet: soccer and tennis. With a focus on preparation training, activation routines, and periodization, I break down how these sports approach warm-ups or preperation training, physical readiness, and managing training loads over time.

You'll learn how soccer uses structured activation, mobility, and movement drills to optimize performance before matches. We also explore how football use strategic planning to balance training intensity, avoid burnout, and peak at the right time.

Whether you're a coach or player, this episode offers practical ideas you can apply to your own badminton training to stay sharp, resilient, and consistently improving.
