Many people have a hobby.

Perhaps that hobby is a creative one, an academic one or a sporty one.

However very few people can excel in that hobby.

One such person is Kai, who loves badminton and is a prodigy.

How it started

Kai began showing interest in badminton at an early age.

He watched the 2016 Olympics with his family, and this was what inspired him to also pick up the racket.

The reason why Kai loved badminton especially is because of its fast paced and adrenaline inducing nature and how naturally entertaining it can sometimes be.

However, he also appreciated the fact that it is a game which is inclusive for all ages and can still be fun for people who do not dedicate their whole lives to this sport.

‘Badminton is a game anyone can play at any level: a family, some students, adults, anyone. It is the perfect sport for everyone.’ Kai

The reason why Kai is so good, is because he was dedicated to training and improving his skill every second.

Inspiration

Kai’s role model for the game is a professional Malaysian badminton player called Lee Zi Zia.

He inspired him with his unique style of play and helps him find his own unique playstyle.

Achievements

All this hard work has of course led to Kai bringing back home some amazing wins for him and his family.

He reached the quarter finals of the U13 nationals and has also been in the top 10 for the U15s.

Kai has also won gold in U13s, which used to be the second highest level of tournaments at that time.

He has had some interesting games such as in his U15s, when he was about to lose in a doubles match and the only way to win were to score several consecutive points.

Kai, being the talented player he is, managed to make several comebacks throughout the game and won.

The prodigy has also beaten the number 2 in the U13s age group, proving to everyone how good he is at the game!

He has already collected several achievements under his belt, but he isn’t going to stop.

This kid has a tremendous future ahead of him.

Kai absolutely loves the game and is a huge inspiration for anyone who wants to pursue a dream or hobby.

Just like Kai, the more you work on it, the better you become.
