Badminton Practice Notes: Footwork, Clears, and Recovery#

I keep these notes to stay consistent during short practice windows.

• Keep split-step timing tied to shuttle height rather than opponent movement cues.
• For baseline clears, return to neutral stance quickly instead of overreaching.
• Rehearse recovery after each cross-court clear with three small steps.
• Prioritize balance over raw speed for the first 15 minutes of every session.
• Record one target each session (for example, deeper backhand clear consistently).

This is a casual note log so I can review progress without turning every session into theory.
