COACHING IS AN ART NOT A PROFESSION

WHEN YOUNG MINDS ARE CURIOUS, THEY EXPERIMENT AND WHEN THEY LIKE A PARTICULAR TASK, IT’S EASY TO GUIDE THEM THROUGH THE INITIAL STEPS. IF THE YOUNG MINDS TURN TO SPORT, IT’S A FASCINATION OF THE SPORT, OR THE LIKE FOR A PARTICULAR INDIVIDUAL, HIS OR HER PERSONAL AND THE IDOLATION RECEIVED BY THEM AROUND THE WORLD THAT INITIALLY CAPTURES THEIR ATTENTION VERY FEW ARE BORN GENIUSES IN THE WORLD OF SPORT, LIONELL MESSI BEING A VERY GOOD CONTEMPORARY EXAMPLE OF THE SAME.EVERY OTHER SPORTSPERSON HAS TO HAVE MADE IT THE HARD WAY, WITH CONSTANT TRAINING, SUPPORT, GRIT AND RESOLVE. SAINA NEHWAL, SRIKANTH KIDAMBI, LIN DAN ARE ALL TESTIMONIALS OF THIS.

THE ROLE AND VALUE OF COACHING IS ONLY APPRECIATED WHEN THE TIPPING POINT FROM BEING AN ALSO RAN TO BEING A CHAMPION IS REACHED. WHERE THE GAME SENSE IS LEVEL, INDIVIDUAL CALIBRE CAN BE HONED TO ACHIEVE THE NEXT LEVEL. GREAT COACHES DON’T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE GREAT PLAYERS AND THE CONVERSE IS TRUE. BUT A STRUCTURED PROGRAM IN COACHING WILL DEFINITELY BENEFIT AN INDIVIDUAL TO PROGRESS FROM A BEGINER’S STAGE TO A PROFESSIONAL PLAYER.

BADMINTON, BEING ONE OF THE FASTEST RAQUET SPORTS, REQUIRES A LOT OF SPEED, STAMINA, SKILL AND STRENGTH. THIS CAN BE GRADUALLY ACHIEVED BY METHODICAL, SUPERVISED AND STRUCTURED TRAINING. BASICS OF THE GAME ARE BEST TAUGHT BY EXPERT COACHES. ONCE A CERTAIN LEVEL OF EXPERTISE HAS REACHED, ATTENTION CAN BE GIVEN TO INDIVIDUAL SKILL SETS WHICH MAY REQUIRE SPECIFIC TRAINING PROGRAMS AND COACHES DEDICATED TO SHARPENING THE SKILL SETS.

PROFESSIONAL COACHING HAS TAKEN OFF IN A BIG WAY EVER SINCE THE SPORT OF BADMINTON HAS BECOME COMMERCIALISED AND PARTICULARLY SO IN A HIGHLY NETWORKED WORLD WHERE THE TARGET AUDIENCES CAN BE IN EXCESS OF MILLIONS. BADMINTON’S RESURGENCE HAS LARGELY BEEN DUE TO THE EFFECT OF THIS.

WE AT INDIAN BADMINTON ASSOCIATION KUWAIT (IBAK) HAVE PIONEERED THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE GAME IN THE REGION FOR THE LAST DECADE AND OFFER A STRUCTURED PROGRAM WITH DEDICATED RESIDENT COACHES, SPECIAL CLINICS CONDUCTED FROM TIME TO TIME BY INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED COACHES AND ALSO THROUGH COMPETITION BY INVOLVING OUR TRAINEES IN TOURNAMENTS BOTH IN KUWAIT AND OVERSEAS.

THE RERSULTS OF OUR EFFORTS ARE BEGINNING TO SHOW WITH ONE OF OUR EARLY TRAINEES MASTER ADNAN JEFF HAVING CRACKED THE MAIN DRAW IN THE SUB JUNIOR CATEGORY AT ALL INDIA LEVELS. A FEW OTHER TRAINEES HAVE TAKEN UP THE GAME ON A PROFESSIONAL AND CAREER BUILDING LEVEL BY ENROLLING IN PRESTIGIOUS ACADEMIES LIKE THE PRAKASH PADUKONE ACADEMY AND GOPICHAND ACADEMY IN INDIA.

WE ARE PROUD TO HAVE TRAINED MORE THAN A 1000 TRAINEES AND HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED BY THE INDIAN COMMUNITY SCHOOL FRANCHISE TO PARTNER AND DEVELOP BADMINTON IN A BIGGER WAY AND GOD WILLING, THE FIRST RESIDENTIAL ACADEMY FOR THE SAME, IN KUWAIT. THE IBAK COACHING TEAM IS A TREMENDOUSLY ENTHUSIASTIC AND COMMITTED ONE AND OUR TRAINEES ARE THE BENEFICIARIES OF THIS EFFORT.
