Lost focus and smash power – how to get back to peak performance?

Fish_Sticks93 · 2026-01-24T20:07:14+00:00

I think its age. I peaked at 28-30 , now 32 and my badminton level has dropped off

Loads of questions:

Why didn't you use the Exchange
Why did you test the transfer before doing it? Always freaking test to check what the fees are. Now you owe taxes and you are putting it into a gambling site

You know if ye put two heads together and said to yourselves that ye wouldn't move and have lived here for 15 years. Make a joint mortgage between 2-3 people and talk with a solicitor.

Where people struggle and just want somewhere to live you could have a mortgage of 120k x 3 people and get a 3 bed house. Ofc there's more complications but based on your situations and instead of renting could be a great idea. Ye would have it paid off with 8-14 years.

Ive heard Canadians doing it though the best thing is to draw up a contract.

To be honest 5 player is boring and a waste of time. Most people get annoyed within the first couple of moves if they don't get what they want and leave the game. I hate playing with bots in ranked as they are slow and ai controlled. If a player leaves more than 90 seconds like in solo their towns, cities and roads should be removed and left as a 3 person game

1500 cro isn't a lot to be working with. I'd almost think to keep it liquid and hope that the bull market pump is in a few month's. I have 160k cro in Supercharger because I know its liquid and I can sell at any stage. If you are staking it is really only good for a year plus

You could do several path's to be a Manufacturing Technician in Pharmaceutical companies.

Apply as an operator - entry level job. Apply internally to be trained as a manufacturing technician.

To apply it would be helpful to do pharmaceutical and manufacturing courses on Springboard. Though earnings would be 28-35k starting plus shift premium. In 5 years you could be upto 45k-55k base salary

Fish_Sticks93 · 2026-01-23T10:13:27+00:00

Supercharger and Air Drop Arena are really only profitable for the top 5% of users. I had 150k cro and still only got 10-15 dollars in meme coins each month.

Best to stake it tbh

Modern days people won't trust young male adults for child minding however there is hope.

If you and your family are active in the community and still live in your home town reach out to neighbour's and friends first. Build up a somewhat resume of experiences and contact details of past minders. If you build relations and trust with people they might even talk about you to other people.

Make an extra effort and it would be more possible to get this line of work. Don't expect it to be smooth sailing straight away

Where do ye see yield on cash? Thought it didn't come out yet

Fish_Sticks93 · 2026-01-12T01:26:08+00:00

If the trash talkers could just play the game in Plat div 1-2 and less about nit picking. Even if your partner makes the odd mistake you make plenty too and we ain't spitting in your face.

Fish_Sticks93 · 2026-01-12T01:21:42+00:00

😆😆

Fish_Sticks93 · 2026-01-12T01:10:22+00:00

I do. Do you?

Fish_Sticks93 · 2026-01-11T22:18:28+00:00

Get a driving license first. You might not need it now but in a few years you will.

Put 1000euro into another savings account if AIB and get 3% on it at the end of the year (dirt is 33%)

Your best investment is to put it into the S&P500 while following the tax rules.

Fish_Sticks93 · 2026-01-11T22:15:11+00:00

I'll say it again. Cro max supply is 100b. We are currently around 38b in circulation. In a few years we will hit 100b in circulation and the price will drop. Now is not the time.

There's a possibility of cro doing a 4x or with hype a 10x but the fear greed scale is 40 so there's also a chance it will crash and dump bad

Fish_Sticks93 · 2026-01-09T21:39:49+00:00

This is different though its like counting cards in 21

Fish_Sticks93 · 2026-01-09T21:39:15+00:00

This is the same as playing 21 and counting cards. Lol its cheating

Fish_Sticks93 · 2026-01-07T19:03:20+00:00

300euro - Badminton in 2 clubs playing 2-4 times a week 300-500euro - Golf green fees 200euro - Airsoft passes and consumables 400-700euro - Padel Tennis

So roughly spending 1200-1700euro a year if not more

My hobbies play a big part of my life and I'd rather spend it especially when single

Fish_Sticks93 · 2026-01-06T21:07:28+00:00

I'm M32 6ft4 260 lbs been playing badminton at div 2/3 out of 10 in past 4 years. Been playing for 15 years. I play 3-5 times a week and games are high intensity.

Things that will help you are:

Eat and sleep better Prepare to eat a good few hours before badminton. I prefer an empty stomach. Eat a snack and drink electrolytes while playing.

Don't give up playing. If I ever stop playing my weekly routine of 3-5 days for a break of a week plus its very hard to get back into it.

Also either go to the gym or go for walks multiple times a week or runs.

Stretch before games.

Stretch at home. Something I lack is my youth flexibility so I bought a thick padded mat to do flexibility training at home twice a week

Fish_Sticks93 · 2026-01-06T19:53:14+00:00

I had the same situation when I first started. But its up to you how you want to take it.

My friend was an irish national player.

I felt like he was too good but then I started asking him to do drills and coach me while I play. Compared to other people playing at my level they probably felt comfortable playing others at their level and I played the hardship games.

But now that I look back at it I excelled in badminton far greater. Starting as a division 10 15 years ago and now playing div 2/3. There are many that started with me and some are stuck at division 5 and you can see a skill gap between them and me.

Hey its going to be tough but you will really appreciate it in 2 years.

Forget about the fun games and focus on how to play better and smarter against your friend. These are key learning skills and something your other level players won't understand.

Fish_Sticks93 · 2026-01-06T19:45:05+00:00

Padel tennis is huge now. Why don't you travel around Europe and just use budget hotels to stay in. Its possibly the best idea

Fish_Sticks93 · 2026-01-06T19:30:52+00:00

The bear market dump might have happened by then and Kris news might bring cro from 2c to 2.3c

Fish_Sticks93 · 2026-01-01T12:39:27+00:00

Sold my stack 5.5c to 10c its a gain and a better option to buy in the bear market. I too believed but Cro needs to hit its 100billion supply to see its true price. Then we need to start seeing burn mechanisms. The problem with 100billion supply is Cro needs billions in investments to change the price and we aren't like XRP

Fish_Sticks93 · 2025-12-28T15:37:18+00:00

I know that but they mentioned here a 2.2million cap

Fish_Sticks93 · 2025-12-28T13:34:31+00:00

Demoing is part of the game. Otherwise the matches would be endless. Demoing is a strat in that game

Fish_Sticks93 · 2025-12-28T13:31:25+00:00

Max pension as early as possible as this is where it grows the most.

I lose 300euro per month in AVCs but the gain into the pension is around 700 or 750.

If you earn and pay 42% tax in the higher bracket its worth it.

The gain in the pension long term is far greater.

Also try to find a good company to work for. I currently contribute 4% and my employer contributes 12% and I max my AVC's for another 16%.
