DEFINITION:
COLLECTIVE
A collective is a group of entities that share or are motivated by at least one common issue, interest or work together to achieve a common objective.
In this case, it is Badminton.
The Badminton Collective
My journey with badminton spans over 12 years. I began as a social player with experience in local tournaments. This deep personal engagement with the sport provides a strong foundation for my passion for coaching, which began in 2016 following a knee injury. During this time while assisting with someone's training, I discovered my enjoyment in guiding and developing players.
I founded The Badminton Collective in 2019 and hold regular badminton club nights every Thursday in Stratford, London. This inclusive environment welcomes players of all levels to enjoy badminton, socialise, train, and even compete. The Badminton Collective's commitment to nurturing talent through quality coaching, focused workouts, and a genuine love for the game resonates deeply with my coaching philosophy, which emphasises teamwork, perseverance, and sportsmanship.
