Learning to defend yourself against the smash is a very important skill to learn in badminton. In this video, Coach Kennie Asuncion tells you about the points to keep in mind when you have lifted the shuttle and are anticipating a smash, so you don't feel intimidated when you know your opponent is about to smash the shuttle hard into your side of the court. The smash is a powerful shot that can intimidate or even scare you, especially when you know your opponent can smash very powerfully. Sometimes the shuttle hasn’t even been hit, but you already feel like you’ve lost the point. If you develop the proper defense, you can keep your cool and return the shot, and even manage to go on the offensive quickly.
