Coaching & player development

My coaching experience spans the University of Glasgow Recreational Club in the UK and Surjit Singh Badminton Academy in India. I combine tactical video breakdown with footwork economy drills.

  • Weekly tactical video analysis and opponent rally profiling.
  • Custom footwork conditioning programs designed to minimize recovery lag.
  • Tournament psychology and match composure coaching for youth players.

Technique provides consistency; footwork provides time. When you optimize movement geometry, high-pressure decisions become natural reactions.
