Jay O. Johann A. What is footwork? Footwork in sports refers to how a player moves their feet to position themselves effectively during a game or activity. Good footwork helps athletes stay balanced, agile, and ready to react quickly to whatever happens in the game. base position Your base starting point should be in the center of the field, so after hitting the birdie, this is the point you should always return to. lunges & recovery refers to the technique of lunging forward to reach a shot and then quickly recovering back to a ready position. v-front It is a movement technique used to reach shots quickly and efficiently. It involves stepping forward diagonally with one foot, creating a V shape, to cover the court effectively. v-back is a movement technique used to cover the court efficiently, especially when the shuttlecock is hit towards the back of the court. It involves stepping back diagonally with one foot, creating a V shape, to reach shots effectively. sidewa ys is a movement technique used to cover the court laterally from side to side. It involves stepping sideways with quick and controlled movements to reach shots hit towards the sides of the court. forward & backward Forward and backward footwork in badminton refer to the basic movements used to cover the court in the direction of the net (forward) and away from the net towards the back boundary line (backward). Change of direction As you move towards the net, there will be chances to change the direction in which you're moving from running in a straight line to moving diagonally to a specific corner of the forecourt. Such motions, referred to as transitions, can be easily applied if you move forward with balance. Thank You For Your attention
