TECHNIQUE, TIMING. ANO WLL Perfecting strokes isn ' t easy. Practice makes a winning team. Being a winner is not as easy as they say. I like play- ing badminton, because it ' s a fun sport and not a lot of people can play it! stated Todd Danner, a sophomore who has played badminton for two years. Coach Bob Bushman con- tinued, Badminton looks real easy, but the people who say that never played before. Unlike last year, the badminton team had more players. Coach Bushman smiled, I think the team should do better than last year, and we might come in the middle. Practice was needed to per- fect one ' s playing ability. The two strokes that took the most practice were the smash and the serve. These shots take timing and co- ordination; it was important that they were perfect. Some players felt they had perfected their game. Terry Hsiao, a senior laughed, Badminton is the easiest sport I ' ve played. I first started playing when I was in China. I used to think badmin- ton was easy, but when I started playing, I realized that there was more than hitting the bird over the net, commented Yvette Perez, a second year player. There are different moves and rules that aren ' t so easy to get until you practice at them. Players felt that opinions should be withheld until peo- ple really played the sport. I would like to challenge anyone who says that bad- minton is easy, ended Coach Bushman. by Matt Antolin ■ SMASHING THE BIRD, Yvette Perez rallies with a fellow opponent.
