How to Become a Chinese Professional Badminton Player (Hint: Start young!)
ฝัง

- Curious at what it takes to become a professional badminton player in China? How old do you have to be to start? At what age does the National Team pick you? **NOTE** This describes the general process for a normal person getting on the national team. There are of course special sports schools and other ways a person can get on the team. But in general this is the process for a normal ordinary person with no special connection or schooling.

I’m an American living and learning badminton in China. Follow me on my journey from total newb to (hopefully) expert player both on my blog and my vlog! Like most Americans I had never played badminton seriously or even knew that it was a real sport until I moved to China and fell in love with it. I feel very lucky that I get to learn the sport in China although it definitely brings it’s own challenges both with the different language and culture. I will share both the victories, frustrations and every embarrassing moment in between with you.
You can see video about my first 2 years of progress here: • Badminton Progress
Please support me on Patreon! Since I live in China every dollar goes further here and I’d like badminton to go viral and make a bigger impact on mainstream culture. I think if more people were exposed to badminton then they would love it. Help me make badminton more popular and get some exclusive perks! / badmintonbecky
Start playing badmin when I was 8 or 9 and give up when I was around 12 or 13 since I was not selected for the advanced level youth program in Hong Kong. But then I am picking up badminton again now in U.S college
Did you stop because you were discouraged that you weren't picked for the team? Or did you think there was no use of playing if you couldn't compete at the highest level?
@Badminton Becky Both. Getting picked into the advanced youth program(分區青年军）in Hong Kong is so important for every kid who wants to play at a higher level. For kids that got eliminated out of the youth program, they basically have no chance of winning any competition or getting into the national team in Hong Kong. 90% of the competitions were won by kids that were in the advanced program. They got a lot more intense training and a better coach to coach them too. Also, the advanced program only selects kids that are 14 or below. Once I received the letter that told me I wasn't getting selected for the team, I stop playing it.
@@tiffanycheung9595 I see. Thanks for explaining it to me (And your English was just fine and easy to understand! :P )
Rule no.1 : you should play badminton not others, if not, you can't be called badminton player..😉.keep up the good work Becky🏸🏸🏸
I began when i were 13 im now 15 and im not planning on giving up at any point. Wouldn't advice anyone else starting late to stop their dream from becoming realistic.
This is also specifically China. Other countries you can start later and become a pro, but in China there is just so much competition that these days you need to be young to have a good chance of playing for the national team. Good luck to you!
@@BadmintonBecky sorry was just a little mad for not getting into a badminton school i searched for.
Thanks
@@jorgensenbadmintoninstagra9589 Sorry to hear that. But keep at it and keep trying!
I just started about 7 weeks ago and got interested instantly so do you know any clubs in Glasgow Scotland I’m 11
We have an app, by which we can rent a court from a lot of courts for 1-2 hrs or more and we can host games. Other players who have their profile in the app can send request to join our game. We can accept or reject them. After the game each player can rate other players based on their performance and it will reflect in their profile. Dont need to be part of any club or anything. We can host games based on our level or above us. This is Bangalore India
That sounds like a very cool app!
It’s called ‘Playo’
@@jesbin94 Is it in English and can be used in other countries as well?
Yes in English, but can be used in India only
I thought I was the best, until I went to china and some 8 year old kid crushed me....
hahaa
Hey I'm canadian-born-chinese, and I'm 18 right now. I've been playing badminton for almost 10 years now and I might have the opportunity to train in the beijing team next summer (my coach used to be a player there). Do you know if the chinese national team for badminton would consider foreign players to join? I know it's highly unlikely for me if foreigners could join, but I'd just like to know.
For sure they never would. There are just way too many Chinese high level players that never get a chance to play, much less a foreigner. But what you should do is train in China where it is cheaper and the level of players is higher, and then play for Canada. Like Zheng Beiwan did for the US. There is a lot less competition on Canada so you would have more of a chance.
@@BadmintonBecky Yeah I would love to do that, it's just that my parents probably wouldn't support me pursuing it as a career, so I probably wouldn't be able to afford it financially. :( Ahhhhh why is life this way
im new so make baddminton too
Yeah here in the US outside of California, don't bother.
What about Zhang Beiwan? She's in Vegas (basically) by herself but is now top 10 in the world.
True 😂
There’s a pretty big scene in Chicago
