It's often a reflection on how the players handled the journey of the match, the tactical choices they made, and how they dealt with changes in momentum. Indeed, it is a player's responses - on the court - that will turn around challenging situations and steer them to victory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten for competitive badminton players of all levels, and drawing on years of experience at the highest international level, authors Andy Wood and Alistair Higham take an in-depth look at what happens in the cauldron of competition.
