Hi, I would love to be a mixed team captain! I love playing badminton and have represented my county and played in national tournaments for the last 6 years. Also, being a member of the mixed team and attending social sessions this year has taught me that developing skills whilst having fun is the best way to learn and I aim to keep this as my aim for next year. As a captain I hope to make sessions enjoyable but also in aim to improve technique and tactics. I also think badminton is great way to make friends, improve fitness and teamwork or to just have a go! I would love to see the team and also social players progress further whilst being in a captain role. Also, I will bring sweets and snacks to matches because I believe reward based learning is effective. I want to make sure everyone enjoys being a RUMS badminton member so hope to arrange many mixed team events, such as meals and nights out as it’s a great opportunity for the women and men’s teams to socialise off court!
I think badminton is great in both a social, team and competitive setting and I would love to promote more students to participate so they can share the same love too.
