Being
a
beginner
level
player
-
&
on
holiday
in
Chennai
-
I
signed
up
for
a
1
hour
private
coaching
session
with
Coach
Silambarasan
at
the
Speedy
Badminton
Academy
(New
Beach).
I
found
our
session
pretty
insightful
.
He
comes
across
as
quite
a
technical
coach
,
very
focused
on
form
and
alignment
and
can
spot
small
details
to
correct
them.
If
you
are
looking
to
start
out
with
the
right
foundations
or
improve
on
your
basics
and
form
,
I
think
he
will
be
a
great
coach
to
work
with
long
term.
Expect
though
to
team
with
someone
who
will
take
you
through
an
intense
session
but
will
also
motivate
you
to
work
hard
.
He
was
able
to
take
my
strokes
apart
and
tell
me
exactly
what
I
needed
to
work
on
and
demonstrate
what
was
expected.
Lasting
improvements
will
obviously
need
more
than
one
session
though
so
it
is
important
to
be
realistic
too
and
accept
that
you
can’t
possibly
learn
everything
in
one
session
.
I
am
glad
that
the
coach
gave
me
things
to
think
about
-
like
focusing
on
both
the
effect
and
sound
of
the
racket
hitting
the
shuttle,how
to
position
oneself
to
maximize
the
stroke’s
effect
and
some
home
practice
work.
A
big
shout
out
to
Prakash
who
manages
the
reception
and
fitness
facility
there.
He
arranged
my
session
at
super
short
notice
and
I
was
really
grateful
to
be
able
to
just
have
my
practice
session
on
my
last
day
there.
I
like
that
this
academy
gives
due
importance
to
warm
ups,
stretching
and
cool
down
because
these
are
vital
to
preventing
injury.
The
academy
is
pretty
easy
to
locate.
And
they
have
2
other
centers
nearby
as
well.
Both
Prakash
and
Coach
Silambarasan
communicate
well
in
English
so
if
you
are
new
to
Chennai
you
will
be
glad
about
this.
I
will
definitely
visit
again
if
planning
another
visit
to
Chennai
sometime.
The
Arulmigu
Marundeeswarar
Temple
nearby
is
5
minutes
away
by
walk
and
is
worth
a
visit
in
my
opinion.
