Reminiscing about his early days in badminton, Martin credits his family for introducing him to the sport. He fondly recalls practicing badminton and tennis with his grandparents. Now, his passion lies in working with young players and fellow coaches. For the past two years, he has been conducting BWF courses for coaches at levels 1, 2, and 3, cherishing every opportunity to help coaches explore new perspectives and techniques.
During the BWF Coach Level 3 Pilot Course held in our region last November, many coaches expressed their appreciation for the chance to enhance their skills. Not only were they exposed to new concepts, but they also gained insights into new realities presented by the course instructors.
The primary objective of the BWF level 3 course is to deepen coaches’ understanding of the different situations they encounter in their roles. This includes aspects such as understanding human behavior and effective communication. The course covers topics that are not typically addressed in standard coaching programs. It starts by analyzing the development systems in each country, including talent identification. Ultimately, the coaches learn about new tools they can implement in their training sessions.
This course marked the third pilot course for the Coach Level 3 program organized by the BWF in different parts of the world. After being conducted in Asia and Europe, coaches in our region had the privilege of participating in this course. Not only did they gain valuable knowledge, but they also demonstrated their enthusiasm for professional growth within the badminton community.

Martin highlights the receptive nature of the coaches during the course. The diverse experiences and backgrounds of the participants contributed to rich discussions and interactions. Some coaches had extensive experience, while others were relatively new to the field. Some were former players, while others were not. Comparing this group to previous courses, Martin noticed their eagerness to learn and their openness to entirely new information, as well as their ability to build upon existing knowledge. Working with this dynamic group of coaches has been an incredibly rewarding experience for him.
When asked about motivating coaches to engage in further training, Martin emphasizes the importance of challenging oneself and embracing uncomfortable situations. He believes that growth and improvement can only be achieved by stepping outside of our comfort zones and continually seeking new options and solutions.
Martin encourages the inclusion of challenging training, re-education, and opportunities for coaches to face new experiences. Comfortable environments breed complacency, while challenges foster growth and innovation. By constantly striving for improvement and exploring better methods, coaches can elevate their skills and achieve greater success. The course promotes reflection and encourages coaches to critically evaluate their training environments and strategies, ultimately leading to personal and professional growth.
