Answer 1

of course you have to do much training. If you don't get much opportunity to hit the ball, then train your skills. There are many ways to train your skills. Some of them are:

1. Flexibility. Flexibility is the mother of all sport. All athletes must be have flexible body. train it by standing, and try to kiss your knee. If you can't reach it, your hand can help you by pull your knee. But remember keep your knee in straight. Do it several times until you can reach it.

2. Speed. Put two boxes in a straight for 2-4 meters. Run between the boxes, but keep the box in your side.

3. Grip. Take your racket and simulate how to return a ball. Doing this seems that you really beat the ball. Train how to smash, lob, return netting. You also can train your footwork.

4. If you have a friend you can train better. Collect many shuttlecocks and give it to your friend. Told him to throw or beat the shuttlecock to you over the net. He will throw the shuttlecock to one corner to another corner so you will run a lot. You will try to return the shuttlecock to his playing area.

Answer 2

Fitness is the main part of badminton, you need to be very fit to play as you are moving around the whole time. You need to practice playing with a net, and also play against someone who is better than you. Practice serving, that is the shot that can determine whether you win the point or not. Sometimes you can go through a match winning points just from serving. The best serve leaves you opponent defenseless then you can do an over head smash/backhand shot etc. and win the point. So focus on fitness first, then go on to practicing serves in a game against someone better than you.
