Lee Rumble, aged 25. Have been playing badminton now for two years, with a few months training. This is a journal of my progression. (full profile)
Thursday 26th February 2009 Well its been a while! One thing or another has come up the last week. Sometimes snow, and other times Matt was playing. So I arrived promptly at 6:45am last night to be told I don't have a court booked! Must admit I was not impressed as I just drove 40mins. Just ...
Thought I would keep an online diary of my coaching that im recieving at the NBC in Milton Keynes. More of a progress journal for myself, but also hopefully an interesting read for those who are interested in getting some sort of coaching themselves. I began Coaching in July of 2008. It turned o...
Thursday 11th December 2008 Two previous days, Tuesday and Wednesday had gone REALLY well. I for some reason felt I had played the best that I've ever played in a long time, if not forever. Smashes were powerful, drives were accurate and net shots were consistent. I was hoping for some o...
Monday 01 December 2008 As some of you may already know, I'm racketless! My Kason Ventus died a nasty death in a previous racket clash. I then had a delivery of a new racket yesterday which also died a nasty death in 4 places. I asked Matt if he could bring a spare racket to coaching so that...
25th November 2008 Well this week I at least wrote the date down correctly! Ive had a good 5-6 days off work and not done much not even badminton, so my legs and arms have had ample rest and feel SOOO much better for it. My knees have a spring in them again without pain and I for the first time ...
Monday 17th November 2008 I was feeling a lot better since having most of last week off. So training was booked for today. However the problem was before training I usually play doubles, but today there were only 3 of us so we ended up playing an hour of singles. This had made me exhausted prior...
Monday 3rd November 2008 I have not had a chance to play badminton since my last badminton training on Thursday last week. Today i started off with a warm up game for an hour with a couple of people from work. They are all quite a good level so its still a nice challenge. 19:00 hrs came,...
Thursday 30th October 2008 Well I didn't mention this previously but I had a game or two on Monday night in place of my training. After around 30minutes I had snapped my newly strung bg80 strings So once AGAIN ive had to revert to my Carlton Powerblade. Im going to invest in a stringing machine...
Monday 21st October 2008 Well its been a whopping two weeks since my last training session, and the beginning of those two weeks I snapped my BG80 strings (25lbs), so had to revert to my very old Carlton Powerblade Racket The last two weeks haven't been great if I'm honest. For starters ge...
Monday 29th September 2008 Today I had woken up with a splitting headache at 5:30am, so got some paracetamol and went straight back to bed. Woke again at 7:30 to go to work and still had the headache. Body felt rubbish, head very light and banging, and just all around crap. I've been battling a ...
