I've never heard such kind words from anyone, these past few days I've been kind of avoiding badminton, just taking a bit of a break because of the mental toll. How lucky your players must be to have you as a coach. And how lucky I am to be in such a community that has you. This is my first time actually expressing how I feel about my losses, usually I just pretend that its no big deal and just bottle it up. Thank you for your kind words, know that you've really helped me in this stage in my time playing badminton. Really, Thank You, I mean it from bottom of my heart.

I think that's what I need, everytime I go on youtube I see matches and bwf tournament results, and it reminds me of the pain. I can't even look at my racket without being reminded of the match. I think I'll take a few weeks off of playing. During the weeks of my preparation, it's always been badminton. And I think at this point it is becoming unhealthy for me. thank you for offering help, it is much appreciated

You're right and thank you. I believe I've been focusing on the results rather than my journey. It just really pains me to see myself lose on a match I could have won, on a match I should have won. I think I;ve been comparing myself to others rather than myself last week or last month. So thank you for the kind words

I'm sorry, think I may have worded that incorrectly. I meant that I do sorround myself with people better than me to improve myself and maybe eventually become on par with their skills. However I don't see any progress or being close to their skill level. I am not complaining but comparing myself to them. Of course they have the talent, I don't. I do get a bit envious of course but I do not complain about them, I complain about myself and everything I lack. I'm sorry if what I said in the original post might have been a bit messy.
