What badminton can learn from football (soccer for the US listeners)

In this episode of Badminton Science, we dive into what the world of badminton can learn from two of the most professionally developed sports on the planet: soccer and tennis. With a focus on preparation training, activation routines, and periodization, I break down how these sports approach warm-ups or preperation training, physical readiness, and managing training loads over time.

You'll learn how soccer uses structured activation, mobility, and movement drills to optimize performance before matches. We also explore how football use strategic planning to balance training intensity, avoid burnout, and peak at the right time.

Whether you're a coach or player, this episode offers practical ideas you can apply to your own badminton training to stay sharp, resilient, and consistently improving.
