“The Six Stages of Change” developed by Prochaska, Di’Climente and Norcross

-a model of description and analysis of change which is helpful in understanding how and why motivation is
successfully mobilized, as well as the factors that lead to failure to do so.

The Cycle of Change

Pre-Contemplation – a logical starting point for the model, where there is no intention of changing the behavior,
the person may be unaware that a problem exists.

Contemplation – The person becomes aware that there is a problem, but has made no commitment to change

Preparation/Planning – The person is intent on taking action to correct the problem; usually requires buy-in
(convinced that the change is good, believes he can make a change)

Action – The person is on active modification of behavior

Maintenance – Sustained change occurs and new behaviors replaces old ones. “Transitional stage”

Relapse – The person falls back into old patterns of behavior

Termination – The behavior change is completely integrated, the temptation to revert to the former behavior is
entirely gone. “Adoption stage”

The History and Development of Badminton

Badminton is a racket sport game played by either two opposing players (singles) or two opposing pairs (doubles)
who take positions on opposite halves of rectangular court that is divided by a net. Players score points by striking a
shuttlecock with their racket so that it passes over the net and lands in their opponent’s half of the court. A rally ends
once the shuttlecock has struck the ground, and the shuttlecock may only be struck once by each side before it
passes over the net.

Since 1992, badminton has been an Olympic sport with five events: men’s and women’s singles, men’s and women’s
doubles and mixed doubles, in which each pair is a man and a woman. At high levels of play, the sport demands
excellence fitness: players require aerobic stamina, agility, strength, speed and precision. It is also a technical sport,
requiring good motor coordination and the development of sophisticated racket movements.

History and Development

Badminton was known in ancient times; an early form of the sport was played in ancient Greece. In Japan, the
related game Hanetsuki was played as early as the 16th century. In the west, badminton came from a game called
battledore and shuttlecock, in which two or more players keep a feathered shuttlecock in the air with small rackets.
The game was called "Poona" in India during the 18th century, and British Army officers stationed there took a
competitive Indian version back to England in the 1860s, where it was played at country houses as an upperclass
amusement. Isaac Spratt, a London toy dealer, published a booklet, "Badminton Battledore - a new game" in 1860,
but unfortunately no copy has survived.

The new sport was definitively launched in 1873 at the Badminton House, Gloucestershire, owned by the Duke of
Beaufort. During that time, the game was referred to as "The Game of Badminton," and the game's official name
became Badminton.

Until 1887 the sport was played in England under the rules that prevailed in India. The Bath Badminton Club
standardized the rules and made the game applicable to English ideas. The basic regulations were drawn up in 1887.
In 1893, the Badminton Association of England published the first set of rules according to these regulations, similar
to today's rules, and officially launched badminton in a house called "Dunbar" at 6 Waverley Grove, Portsmouth,
England on September 13 of that year. They also started the All England Open Badminton Championships, the first
badminton competition in the world, in 1899.

The International Badminton Federation (IBF) (now known as Badminton World Federation) was established in
1934 with Canada, Denmark, England, France, the Netherlands, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland, and Wales as its
founding members. India joined as an affiliate in 1936. The BWF now governs international badminton and
develops the sport globally.

While originated in England, international badminton has traditionally been dominated by a few Asian countries,
plus Denmark from Europe. China, Indonesia, South Korea and Malaysia are among the nations that have
consistently produced world-class players in the past few decades and dominated competitions on the international
level, with China being the most dominant in recent years.
