Testimonial from Mathilde Bitterwolf: Here is a testimonial from Mathilde Bitterwolf Valby BC in Denmark, who says the following about the course: “I’ve learned an awful lot. First of all, how important mental training is in badminton. I don’t think it had dawned on me before, how important it really is, how much it means and how much you can influence it. And then, of course, I also got a lot of concrete tools for how I can work with my players and help them become a better version of themselves both on the field and off the field. I would definitely recommend this course to others. I think there are really a lot of coaches that could benefit from being able to work on things other than just how fast they can run and how they hit a cut. Furthermore, badminton wants to help create whole people and this course helps with that. My players have really taken to the mental tools. There are many of those I have spoken to about it who say that they have become more aware of things. They have become aware that even if I didn’t play a super good game, there are some good things that I can take with me. Or that; wow, it actually mattered that I was preparing for a fight. The level of the players that I coach is from U11C to U17 A players.”
Nishant Kautheckar, India: “The course was really good and I learnt so much valuable from you.”
Joost Quant, The Netherlands:
The topics discussed are certainly not only applicable for top players, but for all players. I do think that the course is more profitable when you give training to competitive players.
The tools covered vary in how laborious they are. There were also very accessible tools. For me, the subject has become much more practical and applicable than the prejudice I first had that it is a bit vague.
Bjarne has a lot of experience with the subjects. He explains the material clearly, gives many practical examples and he involves everyone in the course in a pleasant way.
