    Your Badminton Conditioning Is Probably Wrong

    Are 4×4 intervals, 400-metre repeats and brutal multishuttle sessions actually making you a better badminton player, or are they just making you tired? In this episode, I examine the science and practicality behind popular conditioning methods, including: Norwegian 4×4 intervals1-minute and 2-minute intervals10 × 400 metres30–30s 20/10 or 10/20Multishuttle training Pre-season versus in-season conditioning We’ll look at what each method actually trains, its benefits and drawbacks, and how often badminton players should use it. Because the hardest workout is not always the best workout. Listen before planning your next conditioning session.

    Lessons from Zlatan Ibrahimović

    In this episode, I explain what badminton players and other individual athletes can learn from Zlatan Ibrahimović. Zlatan’s career is built on more than confidence and big personality. It is about understanding exactly what is needed from him, taking responsibility in pressure moments, and staying true to who he is. I talk about building a clear athletic identity, using feedback without losing your own instincts, developing self-belief, and turning setbacks into motivation. We also look at how standards, preparation and adaptability can help individual athletes perform when there is nowhere to hide. This episode is not about copying Zlatan. It is about finding your own version of confidence, discipline, and competitive edge.

    Getting the best Competitive Advantage possible! (Off-season training in June)

    June is a tournament break for many badminton players and how you use it matters. In this episode I break down exactly what your training should look like: starting with a proper recovery week, then building work capacity, strength, and explosiveness before the specific preparation phase begins in July. Conditioning ratios, plyometric prep, strength priorities, and how to fit it all into 2–5 sessions per week.

    You’re Warming Up Wrong (And It’s Killing Your Performance)

    In this episode of Badminton Science, I break down pre-training preparation from a performance perspective. Most players treat warm-ups as a "must" or just something to get the heart rate up. That’s a mistake. A properly structured preparation phase directly impacts speed, power output, reaction time, and injury risk. This episode walks you through a science-based 4-phase model used in high-performance environments: general warm-up, mobility and activation, neural preparation, and sport-specific work. You’ll learn what actually matters, what most players get wrong, and how to structure your preparation in under 20 minutes to maximize training quality. If you want to train at a higher level, your preparation needs to be at a higher level. Don't miss out on performance or progress because of your "warm up".

    Mental Lessons from Björn Borg

    In this short episode of Badminton Science, I explore the mental lessons athletes can learn from Björn Borg, one of the most composed competitors in sports history. Known as “Ice Borg,” Borg built his dominance on emotional control, concentration, cosistency. By looking at how he managed emotions, structured his routines, and handled critical moments, we can extract practical insights that apply to athletes in any sport. Also, the most important lesson from Björn Borg is how to make your strengths and personality work together to improve as a player. In this episode, I discuss: • Why emotional control can be a competitive advantage • How routines help athletes reset and stay focused • The role of physical preparation in building mental confidence • Learning from losses Whether you compete in badminton or any other sport, Borg’s mindset offers powerful lessons on composure, discipline, and performing when it matters most. If you enjoy the episode, consider following Badminton Science and sharing it with another athlete or coach who wants to understand the psychology of high performance.
