Shining in a badminton tournament!

Before, every Saturday we go out to play badminton.. We would play for about 7 to 8 hours (non-stop). We would really kill ourselves because it was just too fun we couldn't stop playing.. And when we get home we fall asleep and when we wake up we can hardly move because our bodies are aching.. haha. But one time we had like a tournament... There was two groups... The very good players and the semi-good players.. I was teammates with my brother and we played in the semi-good players (because we're not really good at badminton). Anyway, the other teammates going to challenge with us were sure they were gonna win because me and my brother were not experienced and we were also small (that time). We played 3 games.. 1 win and 2 losses. But the 2 losses were against much older people then us.. and it was a really a very close fight.. Anyway, while our game was going on the very good players were also playing in the other court. The very good badminton players were supposed to be getting all the attention but somehow me and my brother were so good (and we were still very small) that everyone was watching our game instead of the other game and they were all cheering for us.. but anyway, we lost but we got super famous! LOL.. And the winners were my other brother and sister (who were also a team). So that was the happy part! Haha. I don't play badminton so much now... Give me your thoughts on this story below?

You remind me my childhood. Badminton is the only sport I can play and good enough. I am sucks in other sports and always avoid if sport teacher ask me to join the team. I broke my little finger in high school when my friend tried to pass basketball to me, I will run away from ball if it's volley ball time Badminton is the only sport that have not made me hurt

I love Badminton and chess. I never lost in badminton at school level,but never had made it to state leve,because there is no district level tournaments.People participate in the state tournament on reps and recommendation.There is no serious attempt to identify talent and nurture them. I play chess online,but most of the time get defeated,but I am sure that they could be using software for winning.Online chess is so boring.

I used to play chess, too. But I actually just play it for fun and I wasn't really good at all.. Haha. Yes, online chess is boring.. Do you still play badminton up to now? :D

This is a great example of playing just for fun and just enjoying the sport. We don't play to win but just to have a great time with other people. I love to play badminton as well and it's pretty challenging to play. However, the sport is very enjoyable and I always have a great time playing it.
