Something about mental approach and physcial strength

A perceptual error :

1. attending to inappropriate cues - listening to the talks of the opposing team rather than visually attending to the racket & the shuttlecock.

2. under-estimating the approach velocity of the shuttlecock.

3. failing to detect predict the spin/direction characteristics of the shuttlecock.

4. incorrectly predicting the shuttlecock's direction or angle (line).

5. incorrectly predicting the landing position of the shuttlecock ( length ).

6. failing to correctly read the court surface characteristics.

A decision making error:

1. selecting to play no shot when a shot was necessary

2. selecting to play back rather than forward ( attacking or defensive styles)

3. selecting to horizontal shot rather than a vertical one.

A movement excecution error :

1. the muscles failing ot respond with the force and speed required , due to fatique ( no mucular endurance ,etc)

2. the neural commands to the muscles being incorrect , resulting in the racket's direction moving straight back towards the stumps rather than back and cross.( Racket's correct handling/grips most vital for badminton 's player)

An example of the Time Constraint imposed upon an " Open Skilled Performance" ( badminton ) . The badminton player receiving service, may have less than 3/100 of the second to decide "What kind of stroke to play ".

The difference between a positive attitude and negative attitude can often mean the difference between success and failure.

# A positive attitude can see opportunities in a situation

# A negative attitude will only see the problems and obstacles
