Badminton Pan America

Badminton Pan America is a platform that aims to promote and develop the sport of badminton in the region. As part of their efforts, they organized the BWF Coach Level 3 Pilot Course, where trainers from different countries came together to share their expertise and insights. One of the key trainers in this course was Kenneth Larsen, a former player from Denmark with a wealth of knowledge and experience in the sport.

Kenneth Larsen: A Journey of Passion and Dedication

Kenneth Larsen’s journey in badminton began at the age of 12 when he started playing the sport. Through his dedication and hard work, he became an elite player in Denmark and even won the European championship. But his passion didn’t stop there. Kenneth also had a deep desire to share the joy of badminton with others, which led him to become a coach.

“I really felt that it would be very rewarding for me to train badminton players and help them experience the same joy that badminton has given me,” says Kenneth. “For me, the most important thing is to ensure that everyone can experience badminton in a fun and enjoyable way.”

The Coach Level 3 Pilot Course

Kenneth’s expertise and experience made him a valuable asset for the Coach Level 3 Pilot Course organized by Badminton Pan America.

“The objective of this course is to help coaches transition from talent development to elite badminton,” explains Kenneth. “It focuses on how elite players work, how to communicate exercises that are suitable for them, and how to bring new ideas to the game.”

Constant Learning and Evolution

One of the key messages that Kenneth emphasizes is the importance of continuous learning and evolution. In a sport that is constantly evolving, it is crucial for coaches to keep up with the changes and seek opportunities for growth.

“We can all improve in every aspect of coaching,” says Kenneth. “Especially in the tactical understanding of the game and the skills required by elite players. Coaches should strive to develop their own knowledge and decision-making abilities to train future elite players.”

The Joy of Badminton

Kenneth believes that the reason to bring people into the world of badminton is simple: it is the most fun sport in the world. His passion for the sport is evident, and he encourages coaches to keep this in mind while training their players.

“Badminton is a sport that brings joy and excitement. As coaches, we should always remember to prioritize fun and ensure that our players have a great time while learning and playing the game.”

In conclusion, Badminton Pan America’s efforts to promote and develop badminton in the region have been greatly enhanced by the expertise and passion of trainers like Kenneth Larsen. Through his insights and experiences, he continues to inspire and shape the future of badminton in the Americas.
